We're dividing 482871 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 482871 can be divided by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 48 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 2 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 28 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 100.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 287 / 48

On to step 5:
When dividing 287 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 47.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1005.0
Deduct 240 from 287 and we're left with 47.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 471 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 471 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10059.0
Subtracting 432 from 471 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
390 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10059.8
If we subtract 384 from 390, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10059.81
Subtract 48 from 60 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 120 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10059.812
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 96 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10059.8125
If we subtract 240 from 240, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10059.8125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10059.8125
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10059.8125, with a leftover of 0.0.
