281876 ÷ 48 
We want to figure out the number of times 281876 can be divided by 48.

Step 1:
The number 48 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
The number 48 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 281 / 48

Step 3:
48 can be fit into 281 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 240 from 281, we get 41.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 418 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
48 goes into 418 8 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we take 384 away from 418, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 347 / 48

On to step 5:
48 can be fit into 347 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 587.0
If we take 336 away from 347, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 48

Step 6:
116 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5872.0
Subtract 96 from 116 to 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 200 by 48, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5872.4
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 192 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5872.41
If we take 48 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 9:
48 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5872.416
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.

On to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5872.4166
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5872.4166 with a balance of 0.00032.
