We divide 218107 by 48
We want to divide 218107 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 218 4 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 192 from 218 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
261 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we take 240 away from 261, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 210 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 210 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 454.0
Subtracting 192 from 210 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
48 goes into 187 3 times with a remainder of 43.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4543.0
Subtracting 144 from 187 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4543.8
If we subtract 384 from 430, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4543.89
If we take 432 away from 460, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 280 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4543.895
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4543.8958
Deduct 384 from 400 and we're left with 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 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4543.89583
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4543.895833
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.

After the division, we end up with 4543.895833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
