We divide 242717 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 242717 can be divided by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
242 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 235 from 242.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 47

On to step 4:
47 goes into 77 1 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 47 from 77 and we're left with 30.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 301 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 301 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 516.0
If we subtract 282 from 301, we get 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 47

On to step 6:
When dividing 197 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5164.0
Subtracting 188 from 197 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 47 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5164.1
Subtracting 47 from 90 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 430 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5164.19
Subtracting 423 from 430 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5164.191
Subtract 47 from 70 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 230 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5164.1914
Subtracting 188 from 230 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 420 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5164.19148
Subtract 376 from 420 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 47 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5164.191489
If we take 423 away from 440, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
47 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5164.1914893
If we subtract 141 from 170, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
47 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5164.19148936
If we take 282 away from 290, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 5164.19148936 with a remainder of 8e-09.
