We look at the division of 602981 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 602981.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 60 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 60, we get 12.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 122 / 48

On to step 3:
48 can be fit into 122 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 96 away from 122, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 goes into 269 5 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we take 240 away from 269, we end up with 29.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 298 / 48

On to step 5:
48 goes into 298 6 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1256.0
Subtracting 288 from 298 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 101 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 101 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12562.0
If we subtract 96 from 101, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
50 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12562.1
Subtracting 48 from 50 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12562.1
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 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 9:
If we divide 200 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12562.104
Deduct 192 from 200 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:
48 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12562.1041
Subtract 48 from 80 to get 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:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12562.10416
If we subtract 288 from 320, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12562.104166
Deduct 288 from 320 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.

Our division results in 12562.104166 with a remaining 3.2e-06.
