We look at the division of 47140542 by 231 
Our goal is to divide 47140542 by 231.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 231 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 231

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 231, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 47 leaves us with 47.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 471 / 231

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 471 by 231, we get 2 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 462 from 471, we get 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 231

On to step 4:
94 divided by 231 is 0 with a remainder of 94.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 94 leaves us with 94.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 94 and continue: 940 / 231

Going ahead to step 5:
231 goes into 940 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204.0
Subtract 924 from 940 to get 16.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 165 / 231

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 165 by 231, we get 0 with a remainder of 165.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2040.0
If we take 0 away from 165, we end up with 165.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 165 and continue: 1654 / 231

Moving on to step 7:
231 can be fit into 1654 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20407.0
Subtracting 1617 from 1654 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 372 / 231

Let's proceed to step 8:
231 goes into 372 1 times with a remainder of 141.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 204071.0
If we subtract 231 from 372, we get 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
231 goes into 1410 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 204071.6
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 1386 from 1410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 231, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204071.61
Subtracting 231 from 240 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
231 can be fit into 90 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 204071.61
If we take 0 away from 90, we end up with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
231 can be fit into 900 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 207.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 204071.6103
Subtract 693 from 900 to get 207.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2070, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
2070 divided by 231 is 8 with a remainder of 222.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204071.61038
Deduct 1848 from 2070 and we're left with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 2220 by 231, we get 9 and a remainder of 141.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204071.610389
If we subtract 2079 from 2220, we get 141.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
231 goes into 1410 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204071.6103896
If we subtract 1386 from 1410, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 231 fits into 240 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204071.61038961
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 231 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 204071.61038961 and a remainder of 9e-09.
