We divide 279459 by 48
Our goal is to divide 279459 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 279 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 240 from 279 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 394 / 48

On to step 4:
48 can be fit into 394 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 384 from 394, we get 10.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 105 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
48 goes into 105 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 582.0
Deduct 96 from 105 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 48

Step 6:
The number 48 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5822.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 96 from 99.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5822.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5822.06
If we subtract 288 from 300, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5822.062
If we subtract 96 from 120, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5822.0625
If we take 240 away from 240, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
48 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5822.0625
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
0 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5822.0625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5822.0625 and a remainder of 0.0.
