We divide 277504 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 277504.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 277 5 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 240 from 277 leaves us with 37.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 375 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 goes into 375 7 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Deduct 336 from 375 and we're left with 39.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 390 / 48

On to step 5:
390 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 578.0
Subtracting 384 from 390 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 can be fit into 64 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5781.0
If we subtract 48 from 64, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5781.3
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5781.33
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5781.33 with a balance of 0.016.
