212497 divided by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 212497 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 47

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.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 47

Step 3:
The number 47 fits into 212 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 188 from 212 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 47

On to step 4:
When dividing 244 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 235 from 244.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 99 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 452.0
If we subtract 94 from 99, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
57 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4521.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 47 from 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
47 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4521.2
If we subtract 94 from 100, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
47 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4521.21
If we subtract 47 from 60, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 130 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4521.212
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 94 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4521.2127
If we subtract 329 from 360, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 310 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4521.21276
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 282 from 310.
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 12:
47 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4521.212765
Deduct 235 from 280 and we're left 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 13:
450 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4521.2127659
Deduct 423 from 450 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
47 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4521.21276595
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4521.21276595 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
