Let's divide 137972 by 48
Let's see how many times 48 fits into 137972.

Let's proceed to step 1:
48 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 137 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
48 goes into 137 2 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 96 from 137.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 419 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 goes into 419 8 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 384 from 419 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 357 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
48 can be fit into 357 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 287.0
If we subtract 336 from 357, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 212 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 212 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2874.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 192 from 212.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
200 divided by 48 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2874.4
Subtract 192 from 200 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 8:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2874.41
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 9:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2874.416
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 10:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2874.4166
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 quotient of the division is 2874.4166, and the remainder is 0.00032.
