We're dividing 157186 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 157186.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 157 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 144 from 157 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 131 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 131 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 96 from 131.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 358 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 358 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 327.0
Subtracting 336 from 358 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 226 / 48

On to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 226 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3274.0
Subtracting 192 from 226 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3274.7
Subtract 336 from 340 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3274.7
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3274.708
Subtracting 384 from 400 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3274.7083
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3274.70833
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 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 3274.70833, with a leftover of 1.6e-05.
