We look at the division of 125231 by 47 
We want to divide 125231 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
47 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 125 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 125 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 94 from 125 and we're left with 31.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 312 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 goes into 312 6 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 282 from 312 and we're left with 30.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 303 / 47

On to step 5:
303 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 266.0
Subtracting 282 from 303 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
47 can be fit into 211 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2664.0
Subtracting 188 from 211 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
47 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2664.4
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 188 from 230.
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 8:
47 goes into 420 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2664.48
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.

Step 9:
440 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2664.489
If we subtract 423 from 440, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 170 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2664.4893
Subtracting 141 from 170 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
47 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2664.48936
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
80 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2664.489361
Subtracting 47 from 80 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
330 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2664.4893617
If we subtract 329 from 330, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 10 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2664.4893617
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 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 result is 2664.4893617 with a remainder of 1e-08.
