We're dividing 48040494 by 115 
Our goal is to divide 48040494 by 115.

On to step 1:
The number 115 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 115

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 115, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 480 / 115

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 480 by 115, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 460 from 480, we get 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 115

Advancing to step 4:
The number 115 fits into 204 1 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 115 from 204 and we're left with 89.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 89, then repeat: 890 / 115

Let's proceed to step 5:
890 divided by 115 is 7 with a remainder of 85.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 417.0
Subtract 805 from 890 to get 85.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 854 / 115

Advancing to step 6:
The number 115 fits into 854 7 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4177.0
If we take 805 away from 854, we end up with 49.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 49 and continue: 499 / 115

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 499 by 115, we get 4 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 41774.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 460 from 499.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 394 / 115

Let's proceed to step 8:
115 can be fit into 394 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 417743.0
If we take 345 away from 394, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 490 by 115, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 417743.4
Deduct 460 from 490 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 115, we get 2 with a remainder of 70.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 417743.42
If we take 230 away from 300, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 700 by 115, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 417743.426
If we take 690 away from 700, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
115 can be fit into 100 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 100.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 417743.426
Deduct 0 from 100 and we're left with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
115 can be fit into 1000 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 417743.42608
Deduct 920 from 1000 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
115 goes into 800 6 times with a remainder of 110.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 417743.426086
Subtract 690 from 800 to get 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
115 goes into 1100 9 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 417743.4260869
If we subtract 1035 from 1100, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 650 by 115, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 417743.42608695
Deduct 575 from 650 and we're left with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Our division results in 417743.42608695 with a remaining 7.5e-08.
