We divide 556948 by 48
We want to divide 556948 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
48 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 48

On to step 2:
48 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 48 from 55.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 76 1 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 48 away from 76, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 289 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 goes into 289 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 116.0
If we subtract 288 from 289, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1160.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 148 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11603.0
Subtract 144 from 148 to get 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 7:
48 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11603.0
If we take 0 away from 40, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11603.08
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.

Step 9:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11603.083
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11603.0833
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.

The quotient of the division is 11603.0833, and the remainder is 0.00016.
