We're dividing 104040 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 104040.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 48

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 10 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 104 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 96 from 104, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 80 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 48 away from 80, we end up with 32.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 324 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
324 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 216.0
If we take 288 away from 324, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 360 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 360 by 48, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2167.0
If we subtract 336 from 360, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 48 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2167.5
Subtracting 240 from 240 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2167.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2167.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 2167.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
