Let's divide 48539262 by 257
We're looking to find how many times 257 goes into 48539262.

On to step 1:
The number 257 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 257

On to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 48, we get 48.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 485 / 257

Advancing to step 3:
The number 257 fits into 485 1 times, leaving a remainder of 228.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 228 after subtracting 257 from 485.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 228 and continue with: 2283 / 257

Going ahead to step 4:
2283 divided by 257 is 8 with a remainder of 227.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 2056 from 2283 and we're left with 227.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 227, then carry on: 2279 / 257

On to step 5:
The number 257 fits into 2279 8 times, leaving a remainder of 223.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 188.0
If we take 2056 away from 2279, we end up with 223.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 223, then repeat: 2232 / 257

On to step 6:
If we divide 2232 by 257, we get 8 and a remainder of 176.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1888.0
Subtracting 2056 from 2232 leaves us with 176.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 176 and continue: 1766 / 257

Moving on to step 7:
The number 257 fits into 1766 6 times, leaving a remainder of 224.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18886.0
If we take 1542 away from 1766, we end up with 224.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 224 and continue: 2242 / 257

Advancing to step 8:
257 goes into 2242 8 times with a remainder of 186.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 188868.0
If we subtract 2056 from 2242, we get 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1860 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 61.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 188868.7
If we take 1799 away from 1860, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 257 fits into 610 2 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 188868.72
If we subtract 514 from 610, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 960 by 257, we get 3 with a remainder of 189.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 188868.723
Subtracting 771 from 960 leaves us with 189.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1890, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1890 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 91.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 188868.7237
The remainder is 91 after subtracting 1799 from 1890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 910 by 257, we get 3 and a remainder of 139.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 188868.72373
If we subtract 771 from 910, we get 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 1390 by 257, we get 5 with a remainder of 105.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 188868.723735
The remainder is 105 after subtracting 1285 from 1390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Step 15:
257 goes into 1050 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 188868.7237354
Deduct 1028 from 1050 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
257 can be fit into 220 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 220.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 188868.7237354
Deduct 0 from 220 and we're left with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 188868.7237354 with a balance of 2.2e-07.
