68721 divided by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 68721.

Step 1:
6 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 48 from 68.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 207 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 207 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 192 away from 207, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 152 / 48

On to step 4:
When dividing 152 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 143.0
If we subtract 144 from 152, we get 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 goes into 81 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1431.0
Deduct 48 from 81 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 330 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1431.6
If we subtract 288 from 330, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 420 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1431.68
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
360 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1431.687
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:
When dividing 240 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1431.6875
If we take 240 away from 240, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1431.6875
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.

Advancing to step 11:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1431.6875
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1431.6875 and a remainder of 0.0.
