We're dividing 255708 by 47 
We want to divide 255708 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
47 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 255 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
255 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 235 from 255 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 goes into 207 4 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 188 away from 207, we end up with 19.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 190 / 47

Step 5:
47 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 544.0
If we take 188 away from 190, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
47 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5440.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 280 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5440.5
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.

Step 8:
47 can be fit into 450 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5440.59
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 423 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 9:
47 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5440.595
Subtract 235 from 270 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5440.5957
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 210 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5440.59574
Subtract 188 from 210 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5440.595744
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 5440.595744 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
