Let's divide 25531 by 48
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 25531.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 48

Step 2:
25 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 255 / 48

Moving on to step 3:
48 goes into 255 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 240 from 255.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 153 / 48

Step 4:
153 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtracting 144 from 153 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 91 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
91 divided by 48 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 531.0
Subtract 48 from 91 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
48 goes into 430 8 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 531.8
If we take 384 away from 430, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
48 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 531.89
Deduct 432 from 460 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 531.895
If we take 240 away from 280, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
48 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 531.8958
Subtracting 384 from 400 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 531.89583
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 531.895833
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 531.895833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
