401597 divided by 48 
Our goal is to divide 401597 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 401 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 can be fit into 401 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 384 from 401 to get 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 goes into 175 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 83.0
Deduct 144 from 175 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 goes into 319 6 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 836.0
Subtract 288 from 319 to get 31.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 317 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
48 goes into 317 6 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8366.0
If we subtract 288 from 317, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
48 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8366.6
Subtracting 288 from 290 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
20 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8366.6
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8366.604
Subtracting 192 from 200 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8366.6041
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8366.60416
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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 12:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8366.604166
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.

Our division results in 8366.604166 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
