531686 divided by 48 
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 531686.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 53 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 48 from 53.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
48 can be fit into 51 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 48 from 51 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 36 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 110.0
Subtracting 0 from 36 leaves us with 36.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 368 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
368 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1107.0
Subtracting 336 from 368 leaves us with 32.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 326 / 48

Step 6:
When dividing 326 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11076.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 288 from 326.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11076.7
Deduct 336 from 380 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11076.79
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11076.791
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 48 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11076.7916
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11076.79166
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.

After the division, we end up with 11076.79166 and a remainder of 3.2e-05.
