12696041 ÷ 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 12696041 can be divided by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 126 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
48 goes into 126 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 96 from 126, we get 30.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 309 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 can be fit into 309 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 288 from 309.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 216 / 48

On to step 5:
When dividing 216 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 264.0
Deduct 192 from 216 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 48

Step 6:
240 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2645.0
Subtracting 240 from 240 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 48

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 4 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26450.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 41 / 48

Going ahead to step 8:
41 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 41.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 264500.0
If we take 0 away from 41, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 410 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264500.8
If we subtract 384 from 410, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
260 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264500.85
Subtracting 240 from 260 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 264500.854
Deduct 192 from 200 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 264500.8541
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 264500.85416
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 264500.854166
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 264500.854166 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
