51788 ÷ 48 
We want to divide 51788 by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
48 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 51 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 37 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 37 to get 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 can be fit into 378 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 107.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 336 from 378.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 428 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 428 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1078.0
Deduct 384 from 428 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1078.9
Subtract 432 from 440 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1078.91
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 8:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1078.916
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.

On to step 9:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1078.9166
If we subtract 288 from 320, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1078.9166 with a balance of 0.00032.
