642899 divided by 48 
We want to divide 642899 by 48.

On to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 goes into 64 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 48 from 64.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 162 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 162 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 144 from 162 to get 18.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 188 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 can be fit into 188 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtract 144 from 188 to get 44.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 449 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 449 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1339.0
Subtract 432 from 449 to get 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 179 3 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13393.0
If we take 144 away from 179, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13393.7
Deduct 336 from 350 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13393.72
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 96 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
440 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13393.729
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.

Advancing to step 10:
48 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13393.7291
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13393.72916
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 12:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13393.729166
If we take 288 away from 320, 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.

The final outcome is 13393.729166, with a leftover of 3.2e-06.
