We're dividing 481759 by 48 
We want to divide 481759 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 48

Step 2:
If we divide 48 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 48, we get 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 48

Step 3:
When dividing 1 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 17 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 100.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 175 / 48

On to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 175 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1003.0
Deduct 144 from 175 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 319 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10036.0
Deduct 288 from 319 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 7:
48 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10036.6
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 288 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10036.64
If we take 192 away from 220, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
48 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10036.645
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 240 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10036.6458
Deduct 384 from 400 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10036.64583
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10036.645833
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.

The final outcome is 10036.645833, with a leftover of 1.6e-06.
