491189 divided by 48 
We want to divide 491189 by 48.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 48

Step 2:
48 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 111 / 48

On to step 4:
48 can be fit into 111 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 102.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 96 from 111.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 158 3 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1023.0
If we take 144 away from 158, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
149 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10233.0
If we take 144 away from 149, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10233.1
If we subtract 48 from 50, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
48 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10233.1
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10233.104
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10233.1041
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 48 from 80.
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:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10233.10416
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.

On to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10233.104166
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.

Our division results in 10233.104166 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
