We divide 240561 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 240561 can be divided by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 240 / 48

Step 3:
If we divide 240 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 240 from 240 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 5 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 5 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 48

On to step 5:
If we divide 56 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 501.0
Subtracting 48 from 56 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 81 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5011.0
Subtracting 48 from 81 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 5011.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5011.68
Deduct 384 from 420 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5011.687
Subtract 336 from 360 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
48 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5011.6875
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5011.6875
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5011.6875
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.

The quotient of the division is 5011.6875, and the remainder is 0.0.
