Let's divide 74347 by 48
We want to figure out the number of times 74347 can be divided by 48.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 48 away from 74, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 48

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 263 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 240 from 263, we get 23.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 234 / 48

On to step 4:
48 can be fit into 234 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154.0
Deduct 192 from 234 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 427 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
48 can be fit into 427 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1548.0
Subtract 384 from 427 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 430 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1548.8
If we subtract 384 from 430, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 48 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1548.89
Subtract 432 from 460 to get 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 8:
48 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1548.895
Subtracting 240 from 280 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
400 divided by 48 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1548.8958
If we subtract 384 from 400, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1548.89583
Subtract 144 from 160 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.

Moving on to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1548.895833
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.

Our division results in 1548.895833 with a remaining 1.6e-06.
