We divide 212887 by 47
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 212887.

Step 1:
The number 47 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 212 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 212 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 188 from 212 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 248 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 235 from 248.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 47

Step 5:
47 can be fit into 138 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 452.0
Deduct 94 from 138 and we're left with 44.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 447 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 447 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4529.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 423 from 447.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4529.5
Subtract 235 from 240 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
47 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4529.51
Deduct 47 from 50 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 30 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4529.51
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4529.5106
If we take 282 away from 300, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4529.51063
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 141 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 390 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4529.510638
Deduct 376 from 390 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
47 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4529.5106382
Subtracting 94 from 140 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 460 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4529.51063829
If we take 423 away from 460, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4529.51063829 with a remaining 3.7e-08.
