We look at the division of 259959 by 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 259959.

Step 1:
47 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 47

On to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 47

On to step 3:
47 can be fit into 259 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 235 from 259 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 249 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 249 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 235 from 249, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 145 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 145 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtracting 141 from 145 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 49 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5531.0
If we subtract 47 from 49, we get 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:
The number 47 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5531.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5531.04
Deduct 188 from 200 and we're left with 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:
47 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5531.042
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 94 from 120.
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:
47 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5531.0425
If we take 235 away from 260, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 250 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5531.04255
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 outcome is 5531.04255, with a leftover of 1.5e-05.
