255687 divided by 48 
Our goal is to divide 255687 by 48.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 255 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
255 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 240 from 255 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 156 / 48

On to step 4:
When dividing 156 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 144 from 156, we get 12.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 48

On to step 5:
48 goes into 128 2 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 532.0
Subtracting 96 from 128 leaves us with 32.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 327 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 327 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5326.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 288 from 327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
390 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5326.8
If we subtract 384 from 390, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
60 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5326.81
If we take 48 away from 60, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
48 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5326.812
If we subtract 96 from 120, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5326.8125
Subtracting 240 from 240 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5326.8125
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5326.8125
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5326.8125 and a remainder of 0.0.
