Let's divide 257283 by 47
Our goal is to divide 257283 by 47.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 47

Step 3:
When dividing 257 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 235 from 257, we get 22.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 222 / 47

On to step 4:
47 goes into 222 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 188 from 222, we get 34.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 348 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 348 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 547.0
Deduct 329 from 348 and we're left with 19.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 193 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
47 goes into 193 4 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5474.0
If we take 188 away from 193, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
50 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5474.1
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 47 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5474.1
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
300 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5474.106
If we subtract 282 from 300, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5474.1063
Deduct 141 from 180 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 goes into 390 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5474.10638
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 376 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 140 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5474.106382
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 94 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5474.1063829
Subtract 423 from 460 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 370 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5474.10638297
If we subtract 329 from 370, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5474.10638297 and a remainder of 4.1e-08.
