We look at the division of 494579 by 48 
We want to divide 494579 by 48.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
48 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 48

Step 3:
When dividing 14 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 145 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 145 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 103.0
If we subtract 144 from 145, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
17 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1030.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 179 / 48

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 179 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10303.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 144 from 179.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
48 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10303.7
Subtracting 336 from 350 leaves us with 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:
48 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10303.72
Deduct 96 from 140 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10303.729
Subtract 432 from 440 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
48 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10303.7291
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10303.72916
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.

Step 12:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10303.729166
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.

After the division, we end up with 10303.729166 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
