We look at the division of 508909 by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 508909 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 47 from 50.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 38 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 389 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 goes into 389 8 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108.0
Subtracting 376 from 389 leaves us with 13.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 130 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
47 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1082.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 94 from 130.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 369 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
47 can be fit into 369 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10827.0
Deduct 329 from 369 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10827.8
If we take 376 away from 400, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10827.85
Deduct 235 from 240 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
47 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10827.851
If we take 47 away from 50, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
30 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10827.851
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10827.85106
If we take 282 away from 300, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
180 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10827.851063
Deduct 141 from 180 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 390 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10827.8510638
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 376 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10827.85106382
Deduct 94 from 140 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10827.85106382 and a remainder of 4.6e-08.
