48971420 divided by 311 
Our goal is to divide 48971420 by 311.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 311, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 311

Step 2:
The number 311 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 489 / 311

Moving on to step 3:
The number 311 fits into 489 1 times, leaving a remainder of 178.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 311 from 489 and we're left with 178.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 178, then repeat: 1787 / 311

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 1787 by 311, we get 5 and a remainder of 232.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 1555 from 1787 and we're left with 232.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 232, then repeat: 2321 / 311

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 2321 by 311, we get 7 with a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 157.0
Deduct 2177 from 2321 and we're left with 144.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 144, then repeat: 1444 / 311

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 1444 by 311, we get 4 with a remainder of 200.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1574.0
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 1244 from 1444.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 200 and continue: 2002 / 311

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 2002 by 311, we get 6 with a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15746.0
If we take 1866 away from 2002, we end up with 136.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 136 and continue with: 1360 / 311

Advancing to step 8:
311 can be fit into 1360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 157464.0
Subtract 1244 from 1360 to get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 1160 by 311, we get 3 and a remainder of 227.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157464.3
Deduct 933 from 1160 and we're left with 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

Step 10:
2270 divided by 311 is 7 with a remainder of 93.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 157464.37
If we subtract 2177 from 2270, we get 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
311 goes into 930 2 times with a remainder of 308.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157464.372
If we take 622 away from 930, we end up with 308.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
311 can be fit into 3080 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 281.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157464.3729
Subtracting 2799 from 3080 leaves us with 281.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2810, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 311 fits into 2810 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157464.37299
Deduct 2799 from 2810 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

The final result is 157464.37299 with a remainder of 1.1e-05.
