252122 ÷ 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 252122 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
47 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 47

On to step 2:
47 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 252 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 252 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 17.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 235 from 252, we get 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 47

On to step 4:
47 can be fit into 171 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 141 from 171.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 302 / 47

On to step 5:
47 can be fit into 302 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 536.0
Subtract 282 from 302 to get 20.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 202 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
47 can be fit into 202 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5364.0
If we take 188 away from 202, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5364.2
Deduct 94 from 140 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5364.29
Subtract 423 from 460 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 370 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5364.297
Subtracting 329 from 370 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
47 goes into 410 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5364.2978
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5364.29787
If we take 329 away from 340, we end up 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.

Let's proceed 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: 5364.297872
If we take 94 away from 110, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead 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: 5364.2978723
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.

On to step 14:
190 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5364.29787234
Subtract 188 from 190 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5364.29787234 with a remaining 2e-09.
