219988 ÷ 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 219988.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
47 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 219 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 188 from 219, we get 31.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 319 / 47

Step 4:
47 can be fit into 319 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 282 from 319, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 47

On to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 378 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 468.0
Deduct 376 from 378 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
28 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4680.0
Deduct 0 from 28 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4680.5
Subtracting 235 from 280 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 450 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4680.59
Subtract 423 from 450 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4680.595
Deduct 235 from 270 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 350 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4680.5957
If we subtract 329 from 350, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
47 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4680.59574
If we take 188 away from 210, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 220 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4680.595744
If we subtract 188 from 220, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 4680.595744 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
