We divide 48405953 by 478
We want to divide 48405953 by 478.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 478 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 478

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 478 fits into 48 0 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 484 / 478

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 484 by 478, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 478 from 484 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 478

Going ahead to step 4:
478 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 605 / 478

On to step 5:
478 goes into 605 1 times with a remainder of 127.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 101.0
If we subtract 478 from 605, we get 127.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 127 and continue with: 1279 / 478

Step 6:
When dividing 1279 by 478, we get 2 with a remainder of 323.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1012.0
Deduct 956 from 1279 and we're left with 323.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 323, then repeat: 3235 / 478

On to step 7:
The number 478 fits into 3235 6 times, leaving a remainder of 367.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10126.0
The remainder is 367 after subtracting 2868 from 3235.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 367 and continue: 3673 / 478

Step 8:
If we divide 3673 by 478, we get 7 and a remainder of 327.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 101267.0
If we subtract 3346 from 3673, we get 327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3270, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
478 goes into 3270 6 times with a remainder of 402.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 101267.6
Subtract 2868 from 3270 to get 402.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4020, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
4020 divided by 478 is 8 with a remainder of 196.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 101267.68
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 3824 from 4020.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1960 by 478, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 101267.684
Deduct 1912 from 1960 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 478, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 101267.6841
Deduct 478 from 480 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
478 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 101267.6841
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
478 goes into 200 0 times with a remainder of 200.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 101267.6841
The remainder is 200 after subtracting 0 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2000, and continue the process.

The final result is 101267.6841 with a remainder of 2e-05.
