We're dividing 72386 by 48 
We want to divide 72386 by 48.

Moving on to step 1:
48 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 72, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 243 / 48

On to step 3:
When dividing 243 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 240 away from 243, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 48

Advancing to step 4:
48 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 150.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 386 / 48

On to step 5:
If we divide 386 by 48, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1508.0
Subtracting 384 from 386 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 6:
20 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1508.0
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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1508.04
Subtracting 192 from 200 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 8:
48 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1508.041
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 48, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1508.0416
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.

Moving on to step 10:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1508.04166
Subtract 288 from 320 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.

The final result is 1508.04166 with a remainder of 3.2e-05.
