We look at the division of 538441 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 538441 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 48

On to step 2:
53 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 53 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 48 from 58 to get 10.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 104 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 104 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtract 96 from 104 to get 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 48

On to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 84 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1121.0
Subtracting 48 from 84 leaves us with 36.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 361 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 361 7 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11217.0
Subtract 336 from 361 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11217.5
Subtract 240 from 250 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
48 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11217.52
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11217.52
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11217.5208
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.

On to step 11:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11217.52083
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.

Step 12:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11217.520833
Subtracting 144 from 160 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11217.520833 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
