265057 ÷ 48 
We want to divide 265057 by 48.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 265 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 265 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 240 from 265, we get 25.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 250 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 240 from 250 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 105 / 48

On to step 5:
48 can be fit into 105 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 552.0
Deduct 96 from 105 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5522.0
If we take 96 away from 97, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
48 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5522.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5522.02
If we take 96 away from 100, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5522.02
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5522.0208
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5522.02083
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5522.020833
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5522.020833, with a leftover of 1.6e-06.
