Our goal is to divide 48973587 by 148.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 148 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 148

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 148, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 48 and continue: 489 / 148

Step 3:
148 can be fit into 489 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 444 away from 489, we end up with 45.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 457 / 148

Moving on to step 4:
The number 148 fits into 457 3 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 444 from 457.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 133 / 148

Let's proceed to step 5:
133 divided by 148 is 0 with a remainder of 133.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 330.0
Subtract 0 from 133 to get 133.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 133, then repeat: 1335 / 148

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1335 by 148, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3309.0
Subtract 1332 from 1335 to get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 148

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 38 by 148, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33090.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 387 / 148

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 387 by 148, we get 2 with a remainder of 91.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 330902.0
Subtracting 296 from 387 leaves us with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 910 by 148, we get 6 with a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 330902.6
Subtracting 888 from 910 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
220 divided by 148 is 1 with a remainder of 72.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 330902.61
Subtract 148 from 220 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
148 goes into 720 4 times with a remainder of 128.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 330902.614
Subtract 592 from 720 to get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
148 can be fit into 1280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 330902.6148
Deduct 1184 from 1280 and we're left with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
148 goes into 960 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 330902.61486
Subtracting 888 from 960 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
148 goes into 720 4 times with a remainder of 128.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 330902.614864
Deduct 592 from 720 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 15:
148 can be fit into 1280 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 330902.6148648
Subtracting 1184 from 1280 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 16:
148 can be fit into 960 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 330902.61486486
Deduct 888 from 960 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.
