We look at the division of 137855 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 137855.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 can be fit into 13 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 137 2 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 96 from 137, we get 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 418 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 384 away from 418, we end up with 34.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 345 / 48

On to step 5:
If we divide 345 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 287.0
Deduct 336 from 345 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 95 / 48

Step 6:
95 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2871.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 48 from 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

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: 2871.9
If we subtract 432 from 470, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
380 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2871.97
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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2871.979
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
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 10:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2871.9791
Subtracting 48 from 80 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.

Advancing to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2871.97916
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2871.979166
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.

Our division results in 2871.979166 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
