We're dividing 551906 by 48 
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 551906.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 48

On to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 55, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 48

Step 3:
If we divide 71 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 48 from 71.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 239 4 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 114.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 192 from 239.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 470 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 goes into 470 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1149.0
Subtracting 432 from 470 leaves us with 38.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 386 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 can be fit into 386 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11498.0
If we take 384 away from 386, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11498.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11498.04
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11498.041
If we take 48 away from 80, we end up 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 10:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11498.0416
Subtract 288 from 320 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11498.04166
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 11498.04166 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
