55040 divided by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 55040.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 48 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 48 from 55, we get 7.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 70 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 48 from 70.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
The number 48 fits into 224 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114.0
Deduct 192 from 224 and we're left with 32.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 320 / 48

Step 5:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1146.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 320 by 48, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1146.6
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.

Moving on to step 7:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1146.66
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 1146.66 with a remaining 0.032.
