121038 divided by 48 
We want to divide 121038 by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
48 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 48

Step 2:
When dividing 12 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 48

On to step 3:
121 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 96 from 121 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 250 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
250 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 240 from 250.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 103 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 103 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 252.0
Subtracting 96 from 103 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 48

On to step 6:
If we divide 78 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2521.0
If we take 48 away from 78, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 7:
300 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2521.6
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 288 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2521.62
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 9:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2521.625
Deduct 240 from 240 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2521.625
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2521.625
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2521.625 with a balance of 0.0.
