We look at the division of 255546 by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 255546.

Moving on to step 1:
47 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 47

Step 2:
The number 47 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 255 / 47

On to step 3:
255 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 235 away from 255, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 205 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 205 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 17.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 188 from 205 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 174 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 174 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 543.0
Subtract 141 from 174 to get 33.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 336 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
336 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5437.0
Subtracting 329 from 336 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
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: 5437.1
If we take 47 away from 70, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
230 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5437.14
If we take 188 away from 230, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 420 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5437.148
If we subtract 376 from 420, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 440 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5437.1489
Deduct 423 from 440 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5437.14893
Deduct 141 from 170 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 47 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5437.148936
Subtract 282 from 290 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
47 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5437.1489361
Subtracting 47 from 80 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 330 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5437.14893617
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 329 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 5437.14893617 with a remainder of 1e-09.
