We're dividing 728159 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 728159 by 48.

Step 1:
7 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 48

Step 2:
If we divide 72 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 72 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 48

Step 3:
248 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 240 from 248, we get 8.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 81 / 48

Step 4:
48 can be fit into 81 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 151.0
If we take 48 away from 81, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 335 / 48

Step 5:
335 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 47.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1516.0
Deduct 288 from 335 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 479 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 479 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15169.0
If we take 432 away from 479, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 can be fit into 470 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15169.9
Deduct 432 from 470 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 44.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15169.97
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 336 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15169.979
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15169.9791
If we subtract 48 from 80, we 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 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15169.97916
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.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15169.979166
If we subtract 288 from 320, we 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 15169.979166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
