We're dividing 52471 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 52471 by 48.

Step 1:
48 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 48

On to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 52 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 48

On to step 3:
48 can be fit into 44 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 44, we get 44.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 447 / 48

Going ahead to step 4:
48 can be fit into 447 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtracting 432 from 447 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 151 / 48

On to step 5:
48 goes into 151 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1093.0
If we subtract 144 from 151, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 70 by 48, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1093.1
Subtract 48 from 70 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
48 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1093.14
Deduct 192 from 220 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 48, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1093.145
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 240 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1093.1458
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1093.14583
If we subtract 144 from 160, 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 48, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1093.145833
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.

The final outcome is 1093.145833, with a leftover of 1.6e-06.
