259278 divided by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 259278.

Let's proceed to step 1:
47 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 47

Step 2:
25 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 47

Step 3:
If we divide 259 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 235 from 259.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 242 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 235 from 242, we get 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
47 can be fit into 77 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 551.0
If we subtract 47 from 77, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 308 / 47

Step 6:
When dividing 308 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5516.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 282 from 308.
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 7:
260 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5516.5
If we subtract 235 from 260, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5516.55
If we take 235 away from 250, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5516.55 and a remainder of 0.015.
