We divide 556888 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 556888 can be divided by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
47 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 47 from 55.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 47

On to step 3:
If we divide 86 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 47 from 86.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 398 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 can be fit into 398 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 376 from 398.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 228 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 228 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1184.0
Subtracting 188 from 228 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
47 can be fit into 408 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11848.0
If we take 376 away from 408, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
320 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11848.6
Deduct 282 from 320 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11848.68
Subtract 376 from 380 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11848.68
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
47 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11848.6808
If we subtract 376 from 400, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
240 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11848.68085
Subtracting 235 from 240 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11848.680851
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 47 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11848.680851
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11848.68085106
If we take 282 away from 300, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11848.68085106 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
