We're dividing 491462 by 48 
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 491462.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 49, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 11 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 114 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we take 96 away from 114, we end up with 18.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 186 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 186 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1023.0
Deduct 144 from 186 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 422 / 48

Step 6:
If we divide 422 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10238.0
If we take 384 away from 422, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10238.7
Subtracting 336 from 380 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10238.79
If we subtract 432 from 440, we 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10238.791
Deduct 48 from 80 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
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: 10238.7916
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.

Advancing to step 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10238.79166
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10238.79166 with a balance of 3.2e-05.
