Let's divide 531077 by 47
We want to divide 531077 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 53 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 61 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 47 from 61.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 47

Step 4:
47 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 112.0
Subtract 94 from 140 to get 46.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 467 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
47 can be fit into 467 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1129.0
If we subtract 423 from 467, we get 44.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 447 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 447 9 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11299.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 423 from 447.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11299.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 235 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11299.51
Subtracting 47 from 50 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
30 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11299.51
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11299.5106
If we subtract 282 from 300, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11299.51063
Subtracting 141 from 180 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
47 goes into 390 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11299.510638
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 376 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 13:
47 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11299.5106382
Subtract 94 from 140 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
47 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11299.51063829
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 423 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

The final result is 11299.51063829 with a remainder of 3.7e-08.
