We divide 212081 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 212081.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 212 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 212 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 192 from 212 and we're left with 20.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 200 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 441.0
Subtracting 48 from 88 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 401 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
401 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4418.0
Subtracting 384 from 401 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
48 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4418.3
Subtracting 144 from 170 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4418.35
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.

On to step 9:
200 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4418.354
Deduct 192 from 200 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4418.3541
Subtracting 48 from 80 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:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4418.35416
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left 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 12:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4418.354166
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left 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 4418.354166, and the remainder is 3.2e-06.
