281217 divided by 47 
Our goal is to divide 281217 by 47.

Step 1:
The number 47 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
47 goes into 281 5 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 235 from 281 and we're left with 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 can be fit into 462 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 423 away from 462, we end up with 39.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 391 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 391 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 15.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 598.0
If we subtract 376 from 391, we get 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 47

On to step 6:
If we divide 157 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5983.0
Deduct 141 from 157 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 5983.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
47 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5983.34
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 9:
20 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5983.34
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.

Moving on to step 10:
200 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5983.3404
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.

Step 11:
120 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5983.34042
Subtract 94 from 120 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5983.340425
If we subtract 235 from 260, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 13:
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: 5983.3404255
Deduct 235 from 250 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 5983.3404255 and a remainder of 1.5e-07.
