We're dividing 257301 by 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 257301.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 47

Let's proceed 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
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 235 from 257.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 223 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 223 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 35.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 188 from 223 leaves us with 35.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 350 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
47 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 547.0
Subtracting 329 from 350 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 211 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 goes into 211 4 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5474.0
If we take 188 away from 211, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 230 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5474.4
If we take 188 away from 230, we end up 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 420 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5474.48
If we subtract 376 from 420, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 440 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5474.489
Deduct 423 from 440 and we're left 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 10:
170 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5474.4893
If we take 141 away from 170, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 290 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5474.48936
Subtract 282 from 290 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
47 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5474.489361
Subtract 47 from 80 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5474.4893617
Subtracting 329 from 330 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 10 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5474.4893617
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5474.4893617, with a leftover of 1e-08.
