We look at the division of 47142886 by 251 
Let's see how many times 251 fits into 47142886.

Advancing to step 1:
251 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 251

Moving on to step 2:
251 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 471 / 251

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 471 by 251, we get 1 and a remainder of 220.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 220 after subtracting 251 from 471.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 220 and continue with: 2204 / 251

Step 4:
2204 divided by 251 is 8 with a remainder of 196.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 196 after subtracting 2008 from 2204.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 196 and repeat the process: 1962 / 251

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1962 by 251, we get 7 and a remainder of 205.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 187.0
Deduct 1757 from 1962 and we're left with 205.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 205, then repeat: 2058 / 251

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 2058 by 251, we get 8 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1878.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 2008 from 2058.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 508 / 251

Moving on to step 7:
508 divided by 251 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18782.0
Subtracting 502 from 508 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 66 / 251

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 66 by 251, we get 0 with a remainder of 66.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187820.0
Subtract 0 from 66 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 660 by 251, we get 2 and a remainder of 158.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 187820.2
Subtracting 502 from 660 leaves us with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Step 10:
1580 divided by 251 is 6 with a remainder of 74.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 187820.26
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 1506 from 1580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
251 goes into 740 2 times with a remainder of 238.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 187820.262
If we subtract 502 from 740, we get 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 2380 by 251, we get 9 and a remainder of 121.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 187820.2629
Subtracting 2259 from 2380 leaves us with 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 251 fits into 1210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 206.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187820.26294
Subtracting 1004 from 1210 leaves us with 206.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
2060 divided by 251 is 8 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 187820.262948
If we take 2008 away from 2060, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
520 divided by 251 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 187820.2629482
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 502 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 16:
180 divided by 251 is 0 with a remainder of 180.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 187820.2629482
If we take 0 away from 180, we end up with 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

The final result is 187820.2629482 with a remainder of 1.8e-07.
