Step-by-step solution (long division)

Step 1

Look at the first digit(s) of the dividend: 4. Divide: 3 goes into 4 1 time (3 × 1 = 3). Write 1 above, then subtract: 4 − 3 = 1.

Step 2

Bring down the 8 to make 18. Divide: 3 goes into 18 6 times (3 × 6 = 18). Write 6 above, then subtract: 18 − 18 = 0.

There are no more digits to bring down. So 48 ÷ 3 = 16 exactly (remainder 0), so 3 divides 48 evenly.
