588121 divided by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 588121 can be divided by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 48

On to step 2:
58 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 48 from 58.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 48

On to step 3:
48 can be fit into 108 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 96 away from 108, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 121 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
121 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 25.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 96 away from 121, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 48

On to step 5:
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: 1225.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 240 from 252.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 121 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
48 goes into 121 2 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12252.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 96 from 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12252.5
Subtracting 240 from 250 leaves us 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:
If we divide 100 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12252.52
If we subtract 96 from 100, we 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.

Step 9:
48 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12252.52
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12252.5208
If we subtract 384 from 400, we 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 11:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12252.52083
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.

Step 12:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12252.520833
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.

The final outcome is 12252.520833, with a leftover of 1.6e-06.
