We divide 542515 by 48
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 542515.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 54 to get 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 62 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 48 from 62.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
145 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we subtract 144 from 145, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
11 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1130.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 115 / 48

Step 6:
If we divide 115 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 19.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11302.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 96 from 115.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
48 can be fit into 190 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11302.3
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 144 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11302.39
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11302.395
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11302.3958
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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 11302.39583
Subtract 144 from 160 to 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.

On to step 12:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11302.395833
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 result is 11302.395833 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
