217379 ÷ 48 
Our goal is to divide 217379 by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 217 4 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 192 from 217, we get 25.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 253 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 253 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 240 from 253.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 137 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 can be fit into 137 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 452.0
Deduct 96 from 137 and we're left with 41.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 419 / 48

Step 6:
If we divide 419 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 35.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4528.0
If we take 384 away from 419, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4528.7
If we subtract 336 from 350, we 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.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4528.72
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.

Advancing to step 9:
48 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4528.729
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4528.7291
If we subtract 48 from 80, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4528.72916
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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 12:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4528.729166
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.

After the division, we end up with 4528.729166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
