540486 ÷ 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 540486.

Advancing to step 1:
47 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 47

Step 2:
54 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 54 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 47

Step 3:
The number 47 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 47 away from 70, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 234 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
234 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114.0
If we subtract 188 from 234, we get 46.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 468 / 47

Step 5:
468 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1149.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 423 from 468.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 456 / 47

On to step 6:
If we divide 456 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11499.0
Subtract 423 from 456 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
47 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11499.7
Deduct 329 from 330 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
47 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11499.7
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11499.702
Subtract 94 from 100 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11499.7021
If we subtract 47 from 60, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 11:
130 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11499.70212
Subtracting 94 from 130 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
47 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11499.702127
If we subtract 329 from 360, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 310 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11499.7021276
Subtract 282 from 310 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11499.70212765
Subtract 235 from 280 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 11499.70212765 with a balance of 4.5e-08.
