We divide 229879 by 47
We want to divide 229879 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 22 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 47

On to step 3:
47 goes into 229 4 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 188 away from 229, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 418 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 418 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 376 from 418 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 427 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 427 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 489.0
Subtracting 423 from 427 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4891.0
If we subtract 47 from 49, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
20 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4891.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
47 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4891.04
Deduct 188 from 200 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4891.042
Subtract 94 from 120 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4891.0425
Deduct 235 from 260 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
250 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4891.04255
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 235 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 4891.04255 with a remainder of 1.5e-05.
