273841 divided by 48 
We want to divide 273841 by 48.

On to step 1:
48 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
27 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 273 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
273 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 33.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 240 from 273.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 48

Step 4:
48 goes into 338 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 336 from 338, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 24 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 570.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 241 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 can be fit into 241 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5705.0
Subtracting 240 from 241 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
48 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5705.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
48 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5705.02
Subtracting 96 from 100 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
48 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5705.02
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5705.0208
If we take 384 away from 400, 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5705.02083
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5705.020833
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.

The final outcome is 5705.020833, with a leftover of 1.6e-06.
