We look at the division of 455239 by 48 
We want to divide 455239 by 48.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
45 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 45.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 45, we end up with 45.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 455 / 48

On to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 455 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 432 from 455.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 232 / 48

On to step 4:
232 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 94.0
Subtract 192 from 232 to get 40.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 403 8 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 948.0
If we subtract 384 from 403, we get 19.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 199 / 48

On to step 6:
199 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 9484.0
If we take 192 away from 199, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 48 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9484.1
Deduct 48 from 70 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9484.14
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9484.145
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.

On to step 10:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9484.1458
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9484.14583
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:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9484.145833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9484.145833 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
