We divide 173999 by 48
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 173999.

Step 1:
48 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 48

On to step 2:
48 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 173 / 48

Step 3:
If we divide 173 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 144 from 173 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 299 6 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 288 from 299 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 119 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 362.0
If we subtract 96 from 119, we get 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
239 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3624.0
Subtracting 192 from 239 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 470 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3624.9
Deduct 432 from 470 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 380 7 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3624.97
Subtract 336 from 380 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 440 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3624.979
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 432 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3624.9791
Subtract 48 from 80 to get 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:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3624.97916
Subtract 288 from 320 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3624.979166
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.

The quotient of the division is 3624.979166, and the remainder is 3.2e-06.
