Let's divide 590651 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 590651.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 48

Step 2:
If we divide 59 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 48 from 59.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 110 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 110 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 96 away from 110, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 146 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 146 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 123.0
Subtract 144 from 146 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 48

Step 5:
25 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1230.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 48

Step 6:
48 goes into 251 5 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12305.0
If we subtract 240 from 251, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
48 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12305.2
If we take 96 away from 110, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12305.22
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 96 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12305.22 with a remaining 0.044.
