187023 ÷ 48 
Our goal is to divide 187023 by 48.

Let's proceed 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
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 187 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 187 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 144 from 187, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 430 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 430 8 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 384 from 430 and we're left with 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
462 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 389.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 432 from 462.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 303 / 48

On to step 6:
48 can be fit into 303 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3896.0
Subtract 288 from 303 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3896.3
Deduct 144 from 150 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
60 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3896.31
If we subtract 48 from 60, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 120 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3896.312
Deduct 96 from 120 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3896.3125
If we take 240 away from 240, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3896.3125
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3896.3125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3896.3125 with a remaining 0.0.
