We divide 203218 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 203218.

Let's proceed to step 1:
48 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 203 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 203 4 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 192 away from 203, we end up with 11.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 112 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 112 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 96 from 112 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 48

Step 5:
The number 48 fits into 161 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 423.0
Deduct 144 from 161 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 48

On to step 6:
48 goes into 178 3 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4233.0
If we subtract 144 from 178, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 7:
340 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4233.7
Deduct 336 from 340 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
40 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4233.7
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4233.708
If we take 384 away from 400, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4233.7083
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 4233.70833
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.

The final result is 4233.70833 with a remainder of 1.6e-05.
