We're dividing 162472 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 162472 by 48.

On to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 162 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 144 from 162, we get 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 184 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 144 from 184, we get 40.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 407 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
48 can be fit into 407 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 338.0
Deduct 384 from 407 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 232 / 48

On to step 6:
When dividing 232 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3384.0
Subtract 192 from 232 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3384.8
Deduct 384 from 400 and we're left 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 8:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3384.83
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3384.833
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.

Our division results in 3384.833 with a remaining 0.0016.
