We look at the division of 271417 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 271417 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 48

Step 2:
48 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 48

Step 3:
When dividing 271 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 240 from 271 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 314 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 314 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtract 288 from 314 to get 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 261 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 565.0
Deduct 240 from 261 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 217 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5654.0
Subtracting 192 from 217 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5654.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 240 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
48 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5654.52
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
48 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5654.52
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5654.5208
Subtract 384 from 400 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5654.52083
If we subtract 144 from 160, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5654.520833
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5654.520833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
