We're dividing 204526 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 204526 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 48

Step 3:
204 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 192 from 204 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 goes into 125 2 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 96 from 125 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 292 / 48

On to step 5:
48 goes into 292 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 426.0
If we take 288 away from 292, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 48

Step 6:
48 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4260.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 460 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4260.9
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4260.95
Deduct 240 from 280 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4260.958
Subtract 384 from 400 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4260.9583
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up 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.

Step 11:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4260.95833
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

The final result is 4260.95833 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
