We're dividing 343462 by 48 
We're looking to find how many times 48 goes into 343462.

On to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
48 can be fit into 34 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 343 / 48

Advancing to step 3:
343 divided by 48 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 336 from 343.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
Subtracting 48 from 74 leaves us with 26.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 266 / 48

Step 5:
When dividing 266 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 715.0
Subtracting 240 from 266 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 262 / 48

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 262 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7155.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 240 from 262.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7155.4
Subtracting 192 from 220 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.

Advancing to step 8:
48 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7155.45
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7155.458
Subtract 384 from 400 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 48, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7155.4583
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

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: 7155.45833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 7155.45833 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
