We divide 542023 by 47
We want to divide 542023 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 54 to get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 47

On to step 3:
72 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 47 from 72 and we're left with 25.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 250 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we subtract 235 from 250, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
47 can be fit into 152 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1153.0
Subtracting 141 from 152 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 113 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 113 2 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11532.0
Deduct 94 from 113 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11532.4
Deduct 188 from 190 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11532.4
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11532.404
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 188 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11532.4042
Subtracting 94 from 120 leaves us with 26.
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 11:
If we divide 260 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11532.40425
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 235 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
250 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11532.404255
Subtract 235 from 250 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 11532.404255 with a remainder of 1.5e-06.
