We look at the division of 48987701 by 254 
We want to figure out the number of times 48987701 can be divided by 254.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 254, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 254

Step 2:
48 divided by 254 is 0 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 489 / 254

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 489 by 254, we get 1 and a remainder of 235.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 254 away from 489, we end up with 235.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 235, then carry on: 2358 / 254

On to step 4:
2358 divided by 254 is 9 with a remainder of 72.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 2286 from 2358 and we're left with 72.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 727 / 254

Let's proceed to step 5:
254 can be fit into 727 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 219.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 192.0
Subtract 508 from 727 to get 219.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 219, then repeat: 2197 / 254

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 2197 by 254, we get 8 and a remainder of 165.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1928.0
If we take 2032 away from 2197, we end up with 165.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1650 / 254

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 254 fits into 1650 6 times, leaving a remainder of 126.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19286.0
Deduct 1524 from 1650 and we're left with 126.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 126 and repeat the process: 1261 / 254

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 1261 by 254, we get 4 with a remainder of 245.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 192864.0
If we subtract 1016 from 1261, we get 245.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
2450 divided by 254 is 9 with a remainder of 164.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 192864.9
Subtracting 2286 from 2450 leaves us with 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
254 can be fit into 1640 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 116.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 192864.96
If we subtract 1524 from 1640, we get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 1160 by 254, we get 4 with a remainder of 144.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 192864.964
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 1016 from 1160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
254 can be fit into 1440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 170.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 192864.9645
Deduct 1270 from 1440 and we're left with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Step 13:
1700 divided by 254 is 6 with a remainder of 176.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 192864.96456
The remainder is 176 after subtracting 1524 from 1700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 1760 by 254, we get 6 with a remainder of 236.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 192864.964566
The remainder is 236 after subtracting 1524 from 1760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 192864.964566, and the remainder is 2.36e-05.
