We're dividing 508542 by 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 508542.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 47 away from 50, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 38 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 385 / 47

Step 4:
When dividing 385 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 376 from 385, we get 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 94 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1082.0
If we take 94 away from 94, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 2 / 47

On to step 6:
When dividing 2 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10820.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
20 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10820.0
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead 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: 10820.04
Subtract 188 from 200 to get 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:
When dividing 120 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10820.042
Subtracting 94 from 120 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
260 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10820.0425
If we subtract 235 from 260, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
47 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10820.04255
Subtract 235 from 250 to get 15.
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 10820.04255 with a remainder of 1.5e-05.
