We divide 598938 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 598938.

Step 1:
5 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 59 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 59, we get 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 48

Step 3:
If we divide 118 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 96 from 118.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
229 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 124.0
If we subtract 192 from 229, we get 37.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 373 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
373 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1247.0
Subtract 336 from 373 to get 37.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 378 / 48

On to step 6:
If we divide 378 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12477.0
If we take 336 away from 378, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 420 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12477.8
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 384 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12477.87
Deduct 336 from 360 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
240 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12477.875
Subtract 240 from 240 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12477.875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12477.875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12477.875 with a remaining 0.0.
