473542 ÷ 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 473542 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 473 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
48 goes into 473 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 432 from 473 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 415 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 can be fit into 415 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
Subtracting 384 from 415 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 314 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
48 can be fit into 314 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 986.0
Deduct 288 from 314 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 262 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 can be fit into 262 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9865.0
Subtract 240 from 262 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
48 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9865.4
If we subtract 192 from 220, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9865.45
Deduct 240 from 280 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.

On to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9865.458
Subtracting 384 from 400 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9865.4583
Deduct 144 from 160 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9865.45833
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.

Our division results in 9865.45833 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
