We're dividing 48857493 by 271 
Our goal is to divide 48857493 by 271.

Let's proceed to step 1:
271 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 271

Step 2:
271 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 271

Advancing to step 3:
488 divided by 271 is 1 with a remainder of 217.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 271 from 488 and we're left with 217.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 217 and repeat the process: 2175 / 271

Let's proceed to step 4:
271 can be fit into 2175 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 2168 from 2175.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 271

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 77 by 271, we get 0 and a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we subtract 0 from 77, we get 77.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 77 and repeat the process: 774 / 271

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 774 by 271, we get 2 with a remainder of 232.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1802.0
The remainder is 232 after subtracting 542 from 774.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 232, then repeat: 2329 / 271

Advancing to step 7:
2329 divided by 271 is 8 with a remainder of 161.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18028.0
If we subtract 2168 from 2329, we get 161.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 161, then repeat: 1613 / 271

Advancing to step 8:
The number 271 fits into 1613 5 times, leaving a remainder of 258.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 180285.0
Deduct 1355 from 1613 and we're left with 258.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

Step 9:
271 goes into 2580 9 times with a remainder of 141.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 180285.9
Deduct 2439 from 2580 and we're left with 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
271 goes into 1410 5 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180285.95
If we subtract 1355 from 1410, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 11:
271 can be fit into 550 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 180285.952
If we take 542 away from 550, we end up 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.

Step 12:
80 divided by 271 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 180285.952
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
271 can be fit into 800 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 258.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 180285.95202
Subtracting 542 from 800 leaves us with 258.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 2580 by 271, we get 9 with a remainder of 141.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180285.952029
The remainder is 141 after subtracting 2439 from 2580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
1410 divided by 271 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 180285.9520295
Subtract 1355 from 1410 to get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 550 by 271, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 180285.95202952
Subtract 542 from 550 to 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.

Our division results in 180285.95202952 with a remaining 8e-09.
