We look at the division of 216498 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 216498.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 216 / 48

Step 3:
When dividing 216 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 192 from 216, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 244 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 goes into 244 5 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 240 from 244.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 49 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 451.0
If we take 48 away from 49, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4510.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 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 7:
The number 48 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4510.3
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.

On to step 8:
48 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4510.37
Deduct 336 from 360 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4510.375
If we subtract 240 from 240, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4510.375
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4510.375
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.

The quotient of the division is 4510.375, and the remainder is 0.0.
