Let's divide 252568 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 252568.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 252 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 240 from 252 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 125 2 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 96 from 125 and we're left with 29.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 296 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 296 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 526.0
If we subtract 288 from 296, we get 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5261.0
Subtract 48 from 88 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5261.8
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5261.83
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.

Step 9:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5261.833
Deduct 144 from 160 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.

Our division results in 5261.833 with a remaining 0.0016.
