Let's divide 55158 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 55158 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 47

Step 2:
When dividing 55 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 55 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 81 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
81 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 47 from 81 to get 34.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 345 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 goes into 345 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 329 from 345.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 168 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1173.0
Subtracting 141 from 168 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
47 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1173.5
Deduct 235 from 270 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
47 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1173.57
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 329 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 210 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1173.574
If we subtract 188 from 210, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1173.5744
If we take 188 away from 220, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1173.5744 with a remaining 0.00032.
