493397 divided by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 493397 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 48

Step 3:
13 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 13 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 133 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
133 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we subtract 96 from 133, we get 37.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 379 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 can be fit into 379 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1027.0
Subtracting 336 from 379 leaves us with 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 can be fit into 437 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10279.0
If we subtract 432 from 437, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10279.1
If we take 48 away from 50, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10279.1
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 200 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10279.104
If we take 192 away from 200, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10279.1041
Deduct 48 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10279.10416
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left 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 12:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10279.104166
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.

The final result is 10279.104166 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
