We're dividing 491893 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 491893.

On to step 1:
48 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
11 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 48

On to step 4:
When dividing 118 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 102.0
If we subtract 96 from 118, we get 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 229 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 can be fit into 229 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1024.0
Subtract 192 from 229 to get 37.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 373 / 48

On to step 6:
When dividing 373 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10247.0
Subtracting 336 from 373 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10247.7
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 336 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10247.77
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10247.77, and the remainder is 0.004.
