We divide 48642 by 30
Our goal is to divide 48642 by 30.

Let's proceed to step 1:
30 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 30

Step 2:
30 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 30 from 48 to get 18.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 186 / 30

Step 3:
30 can be fit into 186 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 180 from 186.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 30

Advancing to step 4:
30 can be fit into 64 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 162.0
If we subtract 60 from 64, we get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 30

Advancing to step 5:
42 divided by 30 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1621.0
Subtract 30 from 42 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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
30 can be fit into 120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1621.4
If we subtract 120 from 120, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 0 by 30, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1621.4
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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 8:
The number 30 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1621.4
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 1621.4 and a remainder of 0.0.
