We divide 642186 by 48
Our goal is to divide 642186 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 48

Step 2:
The number 48 fits into 64 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 64 and we're left with 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 48

On to step 3:
When dividing 162 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 144 from 162 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 181 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 181 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 133.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 144 from 181.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 378 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1337.0
If we subtract 336 from 378, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 426 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 426 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 13378.0
Subtracting 384 from 426 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 420 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13378.8
Subtract 384 from 420 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13378.87
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
240 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13378.875
Subtract 240 from 240 to get 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 10:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13378.875
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.

On to step 11:
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: 13378.875
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 13378.875 with a remaining 0.0.
