We're dividing 740541 by 48 
We want to divide 740541 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 48

On to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 74 to get 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 260 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 240 from 260 to get 20.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 205 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 205 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154.0
Subtracting 192 from 205 leaves us with 13.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 134 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 38.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1542.0
Deduct 96 from 134 and we're left with 38.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 381 / 48

Step 6:
48 goes into 381 7 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15427.0
If we subtract 336 from 381, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 450 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15427.9
If we subtract 432 from 450, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
180 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15427.93
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 144 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15427.937
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15427.9375
Subtract 240 from 240 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15427.9375
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15427.9375
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

The final result is 15427.9375 with a remainder of 0.0.
