We divide 344887 by 48
Our goal is to divide 344887 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 344 / 48

Step 3:
344 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 336 from 344 to get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 48

On to step 4:
48 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we subtract 48 from 88, we get 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 goes into 408 8 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 718.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 384 from 408.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 goes into 247 5 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7185.0
If we subtract 240 from 247, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
48 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7185.1
Deduct 48 from 70 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
48 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7185.14
Subtract 192 from 220 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7185.145
Deduct 240 from 280 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7185.1458
Deduct 384 from 400 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7185.14583
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7185.145833
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7185.145833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
