Let's divide 231266 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 231266.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 48

Let's proceed to step 2:
48 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 231 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 231 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 192 from 231, we get 39.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 392 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 can be fit into 392 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 384 away from 392, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 48

Step 5:
86 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 481.0
Deduct 48 from 86 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 386 / 48

Step 6:
When dividing 386 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4818.0
Deduct 384 from 386 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
48 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4818.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 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 8:
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: 4818.04
If we subtract 192 from 200, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4818.041
If we subtract 48 from 80, 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.

On to step 10:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4818.0416
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.

On to step 11:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4818.04166
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4818.04166 with a balance of 3.2e-05.
