We divide 12197 by 48
Our goal is to divide 12197 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 48

On to step 3:
48 can be fit into 121 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 96 from 121.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 can be fit into 259 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 240 from 259 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 48

On to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 197 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254.0
Subtract 192 from 197 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254.1
If we subtract 48 from 50, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 48 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.1
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 254.104
If we take 192 away from 200, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 254.1041
Deduct 48 from 80 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.10416
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 254.104166
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 254.104166 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
