Let's divide 138968 by 47
Our goal is to divide 138968 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
47 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 13 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
47 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 13 leaves us with 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 47

On to step 3:
138 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 94 from 138 leaves us with 44.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 449 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 goes into 449 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 423 from 449 leaves us with 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
47 goes into 266 5 times with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 295.0
Subtracting 235 from 266 leaves us with 31.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 47

Step 6:
318 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2956.0
If we subtract 282 from 318, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2956.7
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 329 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
47 goes into 310 6 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2956.76
If we subtract 282 from 310, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2956.765
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 235 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
47 goes into 450 9 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2956.7659
Subtract 423 from 450 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 11:
270 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2956.76595
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 350 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2956.765957
Deduct 329 from 350 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 210 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2956.7659574
If we take 188 away from 210, we end up with 22.
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 14:
When dividing 220 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2956.76595744
Subtract 188 from 220 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2956.76595744 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
