We're dividing 299494 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 299494 can be divided by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
48 goes into 299 6 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 288 from 299, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 114 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
114 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 96 from 114, we get 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 goes into 189 3 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 623.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 144 from 189.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 454 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 goes into 454 9 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6239.0
Subtract 432 from 454 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 48 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6239.4
Deduct 192 from 220 and we're left with 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 8:
When dividing 280 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6239.45
If we take 240 away from 280, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6239.458
If we subtract 384 from 400, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6239.4583
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.

On to step 11:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6239.45833
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

Our division results in 6239.45833 with a remaining 1.6e-05.
