540374 ÷ 47 
We want to divide 540374 by 47.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 47 away from 54, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 47

On to step 3:
47 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 47 from 70 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 233 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 can be fit into 233 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 114.0
Subtract 188 from 233 to get 45.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 457 / 47

Step 5:
47 goes into 457 9 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1149.0
Deduct 423 from 457 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 344 / 47

On to step 6:
If we divide 344 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11497.0
Subtract 329 from 344 to 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11497.3
Subtracting 141 from 150 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 90 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11497.31
Subtract 47 from 90 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 430 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11497.319
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 423 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 70 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11497.3191
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 47 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
47 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11497.31914
If we subtract 188 from 230, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 47 fits into 420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11497.319148
Deduct 376 from 420 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
440 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11497.3191489
If we take 423 away from 440, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 170 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11497.31914893
Subtract 141 from 170 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11497.31914893 with a remaining 2.9e-08.
