We divide 48731 by 19
We're looking to find how many times 19 goes into 48731.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 19, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 19

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 19, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 38 away from 48, we end up with 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 19

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 19 fits into 107 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 95 from 107.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 123 / 19

On to step 4:
When dividing 123 by 19, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 256.0
Deduct 114 from 123 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 19

Let's proceed to step 5:
91 divided by 19 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2564.0
Deduct 76 from 91 and we're left with 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 6:
19 can be fit into 150 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2564.7
If we take 133 away from 150, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 19, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2564.78
Deduct 152 from 170 and we're left 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 8:
The number 19 fits into 180 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2564.789
Deduct 171 from 180 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 90 by 19, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2564.7894
Deduct 76 from 90 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
19 can be fit into 140 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2564.78947
If we take 133 away from 140, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 70 by 19, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2564.789473
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 57 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
19 can be fit into 130 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2564.7894736
If we take 114 away from 130, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
19 can be fit into 160 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2564.78947368
Deduct 152 from 160 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.

The final result is 2564.78947368 with a remainder of 8e-09.
