Let's divide 217739 by 47
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 217739.

Moving on to step 1:
47 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
21 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 217 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 188 from 217 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 297 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 297 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 282 from 297, we get 15.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 153 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
47 goes into 153 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 463.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 141 from 153.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 can be fit into 129 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4632.0
Subtracting 94 from 129 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
350 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4632.7
Subtracting 329 from 350 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 210 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4632.74
Subtract 188 from 210 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 220 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4632.744
Subtracting 188 from 220 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4632.744 with a balance of 0.0032.
