Let's divide 265694 by 48
We want to divide 265694 by 48.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 265 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 265 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 240 from 265, we get 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 256 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 16.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 240 from 256.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 169 3 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtract 144 from 169 to get 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 48

On to step 6:
254 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5535.0
If we subtract 240 from 254, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5535.2
Subtract 96 from 140 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5535.29
Deduct 432 from 440 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5535.291
Deduct 48 from 80 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
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: 5535.2916
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.

Advancing to step 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5535.29166
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 5535.29166 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
