234521 ÷ 48 
Our goal is to divide 234521 by 48.

Going ahead 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 234 / 48

Step 3:
48 can be fit into 234 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 192 from 234, we get 42.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 425 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 425 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 384 from 425.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 412 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
412 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 488.0
If we subtract 384 from 412, we get 28.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 281 / 48

Step 6:
281 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4885.0
If we take 240 away from 281, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4885.8
Deduct 384 from 410 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
260 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4885.85
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 240 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4885.854
If we take 192 away from 200, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4885.8541
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4885.85416
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4885.854166
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.

After the division, we end up with 4885.854166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
