We're dividing 385523 by 48 
We want to divide 385523 by 48.

On to step 1:
48 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 385 / 48

Step 3:
48 can be fit into 385 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 384 from 385 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 15 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 152 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
152 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 803.0
If we take 144 away from 152, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
48 goes into 83 1 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8031.0
Subtracting 48 from 83 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 350 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8031.7
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8031.72
If we subtract 96 from 140, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
48 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8031.729
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
80 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8031.7291
Subtracting 48 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8031.72916
If we take 288 away from 320, 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8031.729166
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us 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.

The final result is 8031.729166 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
