We're dividing 246557 by 48 
We want to divide 246557 by 48.

Step 1:
2 divided by 48 is 0 with 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.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 48

On to step 2:
48 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 246 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 246 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 240 from 246 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 65 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
If we take 48 away from 65, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 48

On to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 175 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 513.0
If we subtract 144 from 175, we get 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 48

Step 6:
48 goes into 317 6 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5136.0
If we subtract 288 from 317, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
290 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5136.6
If we take 288 away from 290, 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.

On to step 8:
20 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5136.6
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
48 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5136.604
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.

Step 10:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5136.6041
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.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 5136.60416
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5136.604166
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 5136.604166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
