39172 divided by 48 
We want to divide 39172 by 48.

Step 1:
3 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 39 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 39 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 391 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
391 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 384 away from 391, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
77 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Deduct 48 from 77 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 292 / 48

On to step 5:
48 can be fit into 292 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 816.0
Subtract 288 from 292 to 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.

On to step 6:
When dividing 40 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 816.0
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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 816.08
Subtract 384 from 400 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 816.083
Subtract 144 from 160 to 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.

On to step 9:
48 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 816.0833
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.

After the division, we end up with 816.0833 and a remainder of 0.00016.
