252179 ÷ 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 252179 can be divided by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 48

On to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 252 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 240 from 252.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 121 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 121 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we take 96 away from 121, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 can be fit into 257 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 525.0
If we subtract 240 from 257, we get 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 179 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5253.0
If we subtract 144 from 179, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5253.7
Subtract 336 from 350 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
140 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5253.72
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 96 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
48 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5253.729
Deduct 432 from 440 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5253.7291
Deduct 48 from 80 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5253.72916
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5253.729166
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5253.729166, with a leftover of 3.2e-06.
