Let's divide 512860 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 512860.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 can be fit into 51 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 51, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 32 0 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 32 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 328 / 48

On to step 4:
When dividing 328 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 106.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 288 from 328.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 406 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 406 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1068.0
If we subtract 384 from 406, we get 22.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 220 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 220 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10684.0
If we subtract 192 from 220, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
280 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10684.5
Subtract 240 from 280 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10684.58
Subtracting 384 from 400 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10684.583
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10684.5833
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
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 10684.5833 and a remainder of 0.00016.
