We're dividing 17869 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 17869 by 48.

Step 1:
1 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 48

On to step 2:
48 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
178 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 144 from 178 and we're left with 34.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 346 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 346 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 336 from 346 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 goes into 109 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 372.0
Subtract 96 from 109 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 130 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 372.2
Deduct 96 from 130 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
340 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 372.27
Subtracting 336 from 340 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 372.27
Subtract 0 from 40 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.

On to step 9:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 372.2708
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:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 372.27083
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
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:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 372.270833
If we subtract 144 from 160, 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.

After the division, we end up with 372.270833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
