Let's divide 271920 by 47
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 271920.

Step 1:
The number 47 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 271 / 47

On to step 3:
If we divide 271 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 36.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 235 from 271, we get 36.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 369 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 goes into 369 7 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 329 from 369, we get 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 47

On to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 402 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 578.0
If we take 376 away from 402, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 260 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5785.0
If we subtract 235 from 260, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5785.5
If we subtract 235 from 250, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
47 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5785.53
If we subtract 141 from 150, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
47 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5785.531
If we subtract 47 from 90, we 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.

On to step 10:
47 can be fit into 430 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5785.5319
If we take 423 away from 430, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
70 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5785.53191
Deduct 47 from 70 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
47 goes into 230 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5785.531914
Subtracting 188 from 230 leaves us 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 13:
If we divide 420 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5785.5319148
Subtracting 376 from 420 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 440 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5785.53191489
Subtract 423 from 440 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5785.53191489 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
