We divide 263242 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 263242.

Let's proceed to step 1:
48 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 48

Step 2:
26 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 48

On to step 3:
48 can be fit into 263 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 240 from 263 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 232 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 can be fit into 232 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 192 from 232 leaves us with 40.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 404 / 48

On to step 5:
48 can be fit into 404 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtracting 384 from 404 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 48

On to step 6:
When dividing 202 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5484.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 192 from 202.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5484.2
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5484.2
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5484.208
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5484.2083
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5484.20833
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.

Our division results in 5484.20833 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
