We divide 47388780 by 231
We're looking to find how many times 231 goes into 47388780.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 231

Going ahead to step 2:
231 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 473 / 231

Moving on to step 3:
The number 231 fits into 473 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 462 from 473 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 231

Step 4:
The number 231 fits into 118 0 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 118, we end up with 118.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 118, then repeat: 1188 / 231

Going ahead to step 5:
231 goes into 1188 5 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 205.0
If we subtract 1155 from 1188, we get 33.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 337 / 231

Moving on to step 6:
337 divided by 231 is 1 with a remainder of 106.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2051.0
Subtract 231 from 337 to get 106.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 106 and repeat the process: 1068 / 231

Going ahead to step 7:
231 can be fit into 1068 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20514.0
If we subtract 924 from 1068, we get 144.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 144, then repeat: 1440 / 231

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 1440 by 231, we get 6 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 205146.0
Subtracting 1386 from 1440 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 540 by 231, we get 2 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 205146.2
If we subtract 462 from 540, we get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
780 divided by 231 is 3 with a remainder of 87.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 205146.23
Deduct 693 from 780 and we're left with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Step 11:
231 goes into 870 3 times with a remainder of 177.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 205146.233
Subtract 693 from 870 to get 177.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1770, and continue the process.

The final result is 205146.233 with a remainder of 0.0177.
