286686 divided by 48 
Our goal is to divide 286686 by 48.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
28 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 286 / 48

On to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 286 5 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 240 from 286 leaves us with 46.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 466 / 48

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 466 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we subtract 432 from 466, we get 34.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 348 / 48

Advancing to step 5:
48 goes into 348 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 597.0
Subtracting 336 from 348 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 48

On to step 6:
The number 48 fits into 126 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5972.0
Subtracting 96 from 126 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 7:
48 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5972.6
Subtract 288 from 300 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 48, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5972.62
Deduct 96 from 120 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
240 divided by 48 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5972.625
Subtract 240 from 240 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5972.625
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5972.625
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5972.625 with a remaining 0.0.
