251459 divided by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 251459.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 251 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 251 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 240 away from 251, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 114 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 114 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 96 from 114.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 185 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 can be fit into 185 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 523.0
If we subtract 144 from 185, we get 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 419 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5238.0
Subtract 384 from 419 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5238.7
Subtract 336 from 350 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
140 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5238.72
Subtract 96 from 140 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5238.729
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5238.7291
If we take 48 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5238.72916
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5238.729166
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5238.729166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
