306972 ÷ 48 
Our goal is to divide 306972 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 306 / 48

On to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 306 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 288 away from 306, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 189 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 63.0
Deduct 144 from 189 and we're left with 45.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 457 / 48

Step 5:
If we divide 457 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 639.0
Subtract 432 from 457 to get 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 can be fit into 252 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6395.0
Subtracting 240 from 252 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
48 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6395.2
Subtracting 96 from 120 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6395.25
Subtract 240 from 240 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6395.25
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6395.25
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6395.25 and a remainder of 0.0.
