We look at the division of 48726928 by 257 
Our goal is to divide 48726928 by 257.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 257

Step 2:
257 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 487 / 257

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 487 by 257, we get 1 with a remainder of 230.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 257 from 487 to get 230.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 230 and repeat the process: 2302 / 257

On to step 4:
If we divide 2302 by 257, we get 8 and a remainder of 246.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 2056 away from 2302, we end up with 246.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 246 and continue: 2466 / 257

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 257 fits into 2466 9 times, leaving a remainder of 153.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 189.0
If we subtract 2313 from 2466, we get 153.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 153 and continue: 1539 / 257

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1539 by 257, we get 5 and a remainder of 254.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1895.0
If we subtract 1285 from 1539, we get 254.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 254, then repeat: 2542 / 257

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 2542 by 257, we get 9 and a remainder of 229.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18959.0
Subtracting 2313 from 2542 leaves us with 229.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 229, then repeat: 2298 / 257

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 2298 by 257, we get 8 with a remainder of 242.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 189598.0
The remainder is 242 after subtracting 2056 from 2298.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
257 can be fit into 2420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 107.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 189598.9
If we take 2313 away from 2420, we end up with 107.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1070, and continue the process.

Step 10:
257 can be fit into 1070 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 189598.94
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 1028 from 1070.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 257 fits into 420 1 times, leaving a remainder of 163.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 189598.941
The remainder is 163 after subtracting 257 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1630, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1630 divided by 257 is 6 with a remainder of 88.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 189598.9416
If we subtract 1542 from 1630, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 880 by 257, we get 3 with a remainder of 109.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 189598.94163
If we take 771 away from 880, we end up with 109.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1090, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 257 fits into 1090 4 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 189598.941634
Subtracting 1028 from 1090 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
257 goes into 620 2 times with a remainder of 106.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 189598.9416342
The remainder is 106 after subtracting 514 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
1060 divided by 257 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 189598.94163424
If we take 1028 away from 1060, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 189598.94163424 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
