We're dividing 264035 by 48 
We want to divide 264035 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
48 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 48

Step 2:
When dividing 26 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 264 / 48

Step 3:
The number 48 fits into 264 5 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 240 from 264 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 48

On to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 240 from 240 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
3 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 550.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 35 / 48

On to step 6:
48 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5500.0
Subtracting 0 from 35 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 350 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5500.7
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 336 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
140 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5500.72
If we take 96 away from 140, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5500.729
If we subtract 432 from 440, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5500.7291
If we take 48 away from 80, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5500.72916
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5500.729166
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5500.729166, and the remainder is 3.2e-06.
