Let's divide 548984 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 548984 can be divided by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
47 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 47

Step 2:
47 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 54 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 47 from 78 to get 31.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 319 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 can be fit into 319 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 116.0
If we take 282 away from 319, we end up with 37.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 378 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 378 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1168.0
Subtract 376 from 378 to get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
24 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11680.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
240 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11680.5
If we subtract 235 from 240, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11680.51
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 47 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
47 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11680.51
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11680.5106
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 282 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 180 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 11680.51063
Subtracting 141 from 180 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
47 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11680.510638
Subtract 376 from 390 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11680.5106382
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.

Advancing to step 14:
47 can be fit into 460 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11680.51063829
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.

The final result is 11680.51063829 with a remainder of 3.7e-08.
