Let's divide 608558 by 47
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 608558.

Step 1:
When dividing 6 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 60 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 47 from 60 leaves us with 13.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 138 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 138 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 94 from 138 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 445 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 goes into 445 9 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 129.0
Deduct 423 from 445 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 47

Step 5:
The number 47 fits into 225 4 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1294.0
Subtract 188 from 225 to get 37.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 378 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 378 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12948.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 376 from 378.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12948.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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 8:
47 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12948.04
Deduct 188 from 200 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
47 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12948.042
If we subtract 94 from 120, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
260 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12948.0425
Subtracting 235 from 260 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
47 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12948.04255
If we subtract 235 from 250, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12948.04255 with a balance of 1.5e-05.
