We look at the division of 218940 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 218940 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 47 is 0 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.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 218 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 188 from 218 to get 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 47

On to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 309 6 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we take 282 away from 309, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 274 / 47

Step 5:
If we divide 274 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 465.0
Subtract 235 from 274 to get 39.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 390 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 goes into 390 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4658.0
If we take 376 away from 390, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4658.2
Subtracting 94 from 140 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 460 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4658.29
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.

On to step 9:
47 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4658.297
Subtract 329 from 370 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 410 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4658.2978
Subtract 376 from 410 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4658.29787
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 329 from 340.
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 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4658.297872
Subtracting 94 from 110 leaves us 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:
47 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4658.2978723
Deduct 141 from 160 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.

On to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4658.29787234
Subtracting 188 from 190 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 4658.29787234 and a remainder of 2e-09.
