We divide 171571 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 171571 can be divided by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 48

Step 3:
48 goes into 171 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 144 from 171, we get 27.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 275 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 goes into 275 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 240 from 275 to get 35.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 goes into 357 7 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 357.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 336 from 357.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 211 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
48 goes into 211 4 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3574.0
Deduct 192 from 211 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3574.3
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 144 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 460 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3574.39
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
280 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3574.395
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 240 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3574.3958
Subtracting 384 from 400 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3574.39583
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.

On to step 12:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3574.395833
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.

The final result is 3574.395833 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
