We look at the division of 48911 by 42 
We're looking to find how many times 42 goes into 48911.

Let's proceed to step 1:
42 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 42

Step 2:
The number 42 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 42 away from 48, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 42

On to step 3:
When dividing 69 by 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 42 from 69, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 42

On to step 4:
42 can be fit into 271 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 116.0
Subtracting 252 from 271 leaves us with 19.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 191 / 42

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 191 by 42, we get 4 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1164.0
Subtract 168 from 191 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 42 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1164.5
Subtract 210 from 230 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
42 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1164.54
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 168 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 42, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1164.547
If we subtract 294 from 320, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 42 fits into 260 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1164.5476
If we take 252 away from 260, we end up 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 42, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1164.54761
If we subtract 42 from 80, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 42, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1164.547619
Subtract 378 from 380 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
20 divided by 42 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1164.547619
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 200 by 42, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1164.54761904
Subtracting 168 from 200 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.

Our division results in 1164.54761904 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
