We divide 170876 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 170876 can be divided by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 48

Step 2:
17 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 170 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 144 from 170, we get 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 can be fit into 268 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 240 from 268 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 goes into 287 5 times with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 355.0
Deduct 240 from 287 and we're left with 47.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 476 / 48

Step 6:
476 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3559.0
Subtract 432 from 476 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 440 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3559.9
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3559.91
If we take 48 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3559.916
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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 10:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3559.9166
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3559.9166, and the remainder is 0.00032.
