Let's divide 126881 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 126881 can be divided by 47.

Step 1:
47 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
12 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 12 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 126 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
126 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 94 from 126 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 328 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 328 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 282 from 328.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 468 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 468 9 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 269.0
Subtract 423 from 468 to get 45.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 451 / 47

Step 6:
47 can be fit into 451 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2699.0
Subtract 423 from 451 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
47 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2699.5
Deduct 235 from 280 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 450 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2699.59
Deduct 423 from 450 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 270 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2699.595
Subtracting 235 from 270 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
350 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2699.5957
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 329 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 210 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2699.59574
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 188 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 220 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2699.595744
Deduct 188 from 220 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2699.595744, and the remainder is 3.2e-06.
