12071 ÷ 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 12071 can be divided by 47.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
47 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 94 from 120 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 goes into 267 5 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 235 from 267 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 321 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 321 6 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 256.0
Subtract 282 from 321 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
47 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256.8
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.

Advancing to step 7:
47 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 256.82
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 94 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256.829
If we take 423 away from 460, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 256.8297
Deduct 329 from 370 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 410 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256.82978
Deduct 376 from 410 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 256.829787
Deduct 329 from 340 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
47 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 256.8297872
If we subtract 94 from 110, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 160 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 256.82978723
Subtracting 141 from 160 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final result is 256.82978723 with a remainder of 1.9e-08.
