We look at the division of 242137 by 47 
We want to divide 242137 by 47.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
47 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 242 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 235 from 242.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 can be fit into 71 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 47 from 71 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 243 / 47

Step 5:
47 goes into 243 5 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 515.0
If we take 235 away from 243, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5151.0
Subtracting 47 from 87 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
400 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5151.8
If we subtract 376 from 400, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5151.85
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5151.851
Subtract 47 from 50 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
47 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5151.851
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5151.85106
Subtract 282 from 300 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 47 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5151.851063
If we take 141 away from 180, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
47 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5151.8510638
If we subtract 376 from 390, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
140 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5151.85106382
Subtracting 94 from 140 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 5151.85106382, and the remainder is 4.6e-08.
