Let's divide 474259 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 474259 can be divided by 48.

Step 1:
48 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 48

Step 2:
48 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 474 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
48 can be fit into 474 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 432 from 474, we get 42.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 422 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 422 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 98.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 384 from 422.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 385 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
The number 48 fits into 385 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 988.0
Deduct 384 from 385 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 19 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9880.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
190 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9880.3
Deduct 144 from 190 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9880.39
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9880.395
Deduct 240 from 280 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
48 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9880.3958
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 384 from 400.
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:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9880.39583
Subtracting 144 from 160 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9880.395833
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9880.395833 with a balance of 1.6e-06.
