We look at the division of 260899 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 260899 can be divided by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 260 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 240 away from 260, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 208 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 192 from 208.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 48

Step 5:
48 can be fit into 169 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 543.0
If we take 144 away from 169, we end up with 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 48

Step 6:
48 can be fit into 259 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5435.0
If we subtract 240 from 259, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 190 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5435.3
If we subtract 144 from 190, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5435.39
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5435.395
If we subtract 240 from 280, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5435.3958
Subtract 384 from 400 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5435.39583
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5435.395833
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 5435.395833 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
