272517 divided by 47 
Our goal is to divide 272517 by 47.

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
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
47 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 272 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 235 from 272 leaves us with 37.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 375 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 goes into 375 7 times with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 329 from 375.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 461 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
47 goes into 461 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 579.0
If we subtract 423 from 461, we get 38.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 387 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 387 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5798.0
Subtracting 376 from 387 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5798.2
If we subtract 94 from 110, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5798.23
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 141 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
190 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5798.234
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5798.234
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
47 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5798.23404
Subtracting 188 from 200 leaves us 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 12:
The number 47 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5798.234042
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 13:
When dividing 260 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5798.2340425
Deduct 235 from 260 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 14:
47 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5798.23404255
If we take 235 away from 250, we end up with 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 5798.23404255 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
