We're dividing 546886 by 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 546886 can be divided by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
48 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 48 from 54.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 66 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 48 from 66 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 188 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 188 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we take 144 away from 188, we end up with 44.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 448 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 448 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1139.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 432 from 448.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 166 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11393.0
Deduct 144 from 166 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 220 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11393.4
Subtract 192 from 220 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
280 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11393.45
Subtract 240 from 280 to 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.

Step 9:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11393.458
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11393.4583
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11393.45833
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 quotient of the division is 11393.45833, and the remainder is 1.6e-05.
