We look at the division of 204701 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 204701 can be divided by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 204 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 192 from 204.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 48

On to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 127 2 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 96 from 127 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 310 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 426.0
Subtracting 288 from 310 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 221 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4264.0
If we take 192 away from 221, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 290 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4264.6
If we take 288 away from 290, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
20 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4264.6
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
48 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4264.604
If we subtract 192 from 200, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
48 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4264.6041
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 48 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4264.60416
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4264.604166
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4264.604166, and the remainder is 3.2e-06.
