We're dividing 408271 by 48 
We want to divide 408271 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 48

On to step 2:
48 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 48

Step 3:
48 goes into 408 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 384 from 408 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 242 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we take 240 away from 242, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 850.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 271 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 271 5 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8505.0
If we subtract 240 from 271, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 7:
310 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 22.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8505.6
Subtract 288 from 310 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8505.64
Subtract 192 from 220 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8505.645
Deduct 240 from 280 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.

Step 10:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8505.6458
If we take 384 away from 400, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8505.64583
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8505.645833
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.

After the division, we end up with 8505.645833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
