We divide 217915 by 48
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 217915.

Moving on to step 1:
48 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
21 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 goes into 217 4 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 192 from 217.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 259 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtract 240 from 259 to get 19.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 191 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 191 3 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 453.0
Subtract 144 from 191 to get 47.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 475 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
475 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 43.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4539.0
If we take 432 away from 475, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4539.8
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 384 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
460 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4539.89
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
48 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4539.895
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4539.8958
Subtract 384 from 400 to get 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:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4539.89583
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 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 12:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4539.895833
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4539.895833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
