208862 ÷ 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 208862 can be divided by 48.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 208 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
48 goes into 208 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 192 from 208 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 168 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
If we subtract 144 from 168, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 246 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 435.0
If we take 240 away from 246, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 62 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4351.0
If we take 48 away from 62, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 48 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4351.2
If we subtract 96 from 140, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4351.29
If we take 432 away from 440, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4351.291
Deduct 48 from 80 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4351.2916
If we subtract 288 from 320, we 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4351.29166
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.

After the division, we end up with 4351.29166 and a remainder of 3.2e-05.
