We divide 260906 by 48
Our goal is to divide 260906 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
48 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 48

Step 3:
48 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 240 from 260 to get 20.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 209 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 209 4 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 192 from 209 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 170 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 170 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 543.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 144 from 170.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 266 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 266 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5435.0
If we take 240 away from 266, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 260 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5435.5
Deduct 240 from 260 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
200 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5435.54
Subtract 192 from 200 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
48 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5435.541
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 48 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
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: 5435.5416
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 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5435.54166
If we take 288 away from 320, 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.

The final outcome is 5435.54166, with a leftover of 3.2e-05.
