Let's divide 254729 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 254729.

On to step 1:
48 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 48

Step 3:
The number 48 fits into 254 5 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 240 from 254 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 147 / 48

Step 4:
The number 48 fits into 147 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 144 from 147 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 48

On to step 5:
If we divide 32 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 530.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 0 from 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 can be fit into 329 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.0
If we take 288 away from 329, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
410 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5306.8
If we take 384 away from 410, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.85
Deduct 240 from 260 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5306.854
Subtracting 192 from 200 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.8541
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.85416
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.854166
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5306.854166, and the remainder is 3.2e-06.
