Let's divide 470217 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 470217 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 48

On to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 470 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 470 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 432 from 470 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 382 / 48

On to step 4:
382 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 46.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97.0
Deduct 336 from 382 and we're left with 46.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 461 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 461 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 979.0
Subtract 432 from 461 to get 29.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 48

Step 6:
297 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9796.0
Subtract 288 from 297 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
48 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9796.1
If we subtract 48 from 90, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
420 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9796.18
If we subtract 384 from 420, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
360 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9796.187
Subtracting 336 from 360 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.

Step 10:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9796.1875
If we subtract 240 from 240, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 9796.1875
Subtract 0 from 0 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 12:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9796.1875
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.

Our division results in 9796.1875 with a remaining 0.0.
