We divide 531617 by 47
Our goal is to divide 531617 by 47.

Step 1:
47 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 47 from 53.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
61 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 47 from 61 to get 14.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 146 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 can be fit into 146 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtract 141 from 146 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 51 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1131.0
If we subtract 47 from 51, we get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
47 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11311.0
Subtracting 47 from 47 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11311.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
47 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11311.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11311.0 with a remaining 0.0.
