We're dividing 687517 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 687517 by 48.

On to step 1:
48 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 68 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 68, we get 20.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 207 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
207 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 192 from 207.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 155 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 goes into 155 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 143.0
If we subtract 144 from 155, we get 11.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 111 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 111 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1432.0
If we take 96 away from 111, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
48 can be fit into 157 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14323.0
If we take 144 away from 157, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 130 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14323.2
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 96 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 340 by 48, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14323.27
If we take 336 away from 340, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14323.27
Deduct 0 from 40 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.

Advancing 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: 14323.2708
Deduct 384 from 400 and we're left 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:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14323.27083
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.

Going ahead 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: 14323.270833
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.

The final result is 14323.270833 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
