Let's divide 686848 by 48
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 686848.

Step 1:
6 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 68 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 68 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 206 / 48

Step 3:
206 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 192 away from 206, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 148 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 143.0
Subtracting 144 from 148 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 44 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 44.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1430.0
If we subtract 0 from 44, we get 44.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 448 / 48

On to step 6:
48 can be fit into 448 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14309.0
If we take 432 away from 448, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14309.3
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 8:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14309.33
Deduct 144 from 160 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.

Our division results in 14309.33 with a remaining 0.016.
