Let's divide 20417 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 20417 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 48

On to step 3:
204 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 192 away from 204, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 goes into 121 2 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 96 from 121.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 48

Step 5:
257 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 425.0
If we subtract 240 from 257, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
170 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 425.3
Subtract 144 from 170 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
48 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 425.35
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 240 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 425.354
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
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:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 425.3541
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 425.35416
Deduct 288 from 320 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 11:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 425.354166
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 425.354166 with a balance of 3.2e-06.
