We look at the division of 157159 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 157159 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 48

On to step 2:
48 goes into 15 0 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 48

On to step 3:
If we divide 157 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 144 from 157 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 131 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 131 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 35.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 96 from 131 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 355 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 355 7 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 327.0
If we subtract 336 from 355, we get 19.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 199 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 goes into 199 4 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3274.0
Subtracting 192 from 199 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3274.1
If we take 48 away from 70, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
220 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3274.14
Deduct 192 from 220 and we're left 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.

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: 3274.145
Subtract 240 from 280 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3274.1458
Subtracting 384 from 400 leaves us 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.

Going ahead 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: 3274.14583
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3274.145833
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 3274.145833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
