Let's divide 218791 by 47
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 218791.

Advancing 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 subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
21 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
47 can be fit into 218 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 188 from 218 to get 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 307 6 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 282 from 307 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 259 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 465.0
Deduct 235 from 259 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 241 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 241 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4655.0
If we take 235 away from 241, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4655.1
Subtract 47 from 60 to 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 8:
When dividing 130 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4655.12
If we take 94 away from 130, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4655.127
Subtract 329 from 360 to 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 310 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4655.1276
If we subtract 282 from 310, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
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: 4655.12765
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 235 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
47 goes into 450 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4655.127659
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 270 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4655.1276595
Subtracting 235 from 270 leaves us 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.

Step 14:
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: 4655.12765957
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.

The quotient of the division is 4655.12765957, and the remainder is 2.1e-08.
