509287 divided by 48 
Our goal is to divide 509287 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
48 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 48

Step 2:
48 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 48

Step 3:
48 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 292 / 48

Step 4:
48 can be fit into 292 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 288 from 292.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1061.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 48 from 48.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
48 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10610.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10610.1
If we take 48 away from 70, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10610.14
Deduct 192 from 220 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10610.145
If we subtract 240 from 280, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10610.1458
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
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 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10610.14583
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10610.145833
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.

The final outcome is 10610.145833, with a leftover of 1.6e-06.
