We divide 308616 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 308616 can be divided by 48.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 48

Step 2:
The number 48 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 goes into 308 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 288 away from 308, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 206 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 goes into 206 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Deduct 192 from 206 and we're left with 14.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 141 / 48

On to step 5:
When dividing 141 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 642.0
Subtracting 96 from 141 leaves us with 45.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 456 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 456 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6429.0
Subtract 432 from 456 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6429.5
Subtract 240 from 240 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6429.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6429.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6429.5 with a balance of 0.0.
