We're dividing 35872 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 35872.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 35 0 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 48

On to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 358 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 336 from 358 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 227 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 227 4 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 74.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 192 from 227.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 352 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 352 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 747.0
Subtract 336 from 352 to get 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 6:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 747.3
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 747.33
If we take 144 away from 160, 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.

The final outcome is 747.33, with a leftover of 0.016.
