We divide 48857471 by 233
Our goal is to divide 48857471 by 233.

Let's proceed to step 1:
233 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
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 233

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 233, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 488 / 233

Let's proceed to step 3:
488 divided by 233 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 466 from 488, we get 22.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 225 / 233

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 225 by 233, we get 0 and a remainder of 225.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 225 and we're left with 225.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 225, then carry on: 2257 / 233

Going ahead to step 5:
233 can be fit into 2257 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 160.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 209.0
If we take 2097 away from 2257, we end up with 160.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 160, then repeat: 1604 / 233

On to step 6:
233 can be fit into 1604 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 206.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2096.0
Subtracting 1398 from 1604 leaves us with 206.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 206 and continue: 2067 / 233

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 2067 by 233, we get 8 with a remainder of 203.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20968.0
Subtracting 1864 from 2067 leaves us with 203.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 203, then repeat: 2031 / 233

Let's proceed to step 8:
2031 divided by 233 is 8 with a remainder of 167.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 209688.0
Subtracting 1864 from 2031 leaves us with 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
233 goes into 1670 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 209688.7
Deduct 1631 from 1670 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 390 by 233, we get 1 and a remainder of 157.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 209688.71
Subtracting 233 from 390 leaves us with 157.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
233 goes into 1570 6 times with a remainder of 172.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 209688.716
If we subtract 1398 from 1570, we get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 1720 by 233, we get 7 with a remainder of 89.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 209688.7167
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 1631 from 1720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
890 divided by 233 is 3 with a remainder of 191.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 209688.71673
The remainder is 191 after subtracting 699 from 890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 1910 by 233, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 209688.716738
Deduct 1864 from 1910 and we're left with 46.
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 15:
460 divided by 233 is 1 with a remainder of 227.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 209688.7167381
Deduct 233 from 460 and we're left with 227.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
If we divide 2270 by 233, we get 9 and a remainder of 173.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 209688.71673819
Deduct 2097 from 2270 and we're left with 173.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1730, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 209688.71673819 with a balance of 1.73e-07.
