We look at the division of 48743935 by 159 
We want to divide 48743935 by 159.

Let's proceed to step 1:
159 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 159

Moving on to step 2:
159 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 487 / 159

Let's proceed to step 3:
487 divided by 159 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 477 from 487 to get 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 159

Advancing to step 4:
The number 159 fits into 104 0 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 104 and we're left with 104.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 104, then repeat: 1043 / 159

Step 5:
1043 divided by 159 is 6 with a remainder of 89.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 306.0
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 954 from 1043.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 89 and continue: 899 / 159

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 159 fits into 899 5 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3065.0
Deduct 795 from 899 and we're left with 104.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 104, then carry on: 1043 / 159

Advancing to step 7:
159 goes into 1043 6 times with a remainder of 89.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 30656.0
If we take 954 away from 1043, we end up with 89.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 895 / 159

Step 8:
If we divide 895 by 159, we get 5 and a remainder of 100.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 306565.0
If we take 795 away from 895, we end up with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 1000 by 159, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 306565.6
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 954 from 1000.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 159 fits into 460 2 times, leaving a remainder of 142.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 306565.62
If we subtract 318 from 460, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
1420 divided by 159 is 8 with a remainder of 148.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 306565.628
If we take 1272 away from 1420, we end up with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 159 fits into 1480 9 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 306565.6289
Subtract 1431 from 1480 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
159 can be fit into 490 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 306565.62893
If we take 477 away from 490, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 14:
159 goes into 130 0 times with a remainder of 130.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 306565.62893
If we subtract 0 from 130, we get 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
159 can be fit into 1300 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 306565.6289308
If we subtract 1272 from 1300, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 280 by 159, we get 1 with a remainder of 121.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 306565.62893081
The remainder is 121 after subtracting 159 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 306565.62893081 with a remaining 1.21e-07.
