We divide 729401 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 729401.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 72, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 249 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 240 from 249 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 94 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 94 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 46.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 151.0
Subtracting 48 from 94 leaves us with 46.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 460 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1519.0
Deduct 432 from 460 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 281 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15195.0
If we take 240 away from 281, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15195.8
Subtract 384 from 410 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15195.85
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 240 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
48 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15195.854
Subtracting 192 from 200 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15195.8541
Subtracting 48 from 80 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.

Advancing to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15195.85416
Subtract 288 from 320 to 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:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15195.854166
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.

The final result is 15195.854166 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
