221869 ÷ 47 
Our goal is to divide 221869 by 47.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 22 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 22, we end up with 22.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 221 / 47

Step 3:
47 goes into 221 4 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 188 from 221.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 can be fit into 338 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 329 from 338.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 47

Step 5:
If we divide 96 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 472.0
If we take 94 away from 96, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
47 can be fit into 29 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4720.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
47 goes into 290 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4720.6
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 282 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4720.61
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 47 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4720.617
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 329 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 10:
47 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4720.617
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
100 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4720.61702
If we take 94 away from 100, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 47 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4720.617021
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 47 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
130 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4720.6170212
Deduct 94 from 130 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
47 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4720.61702127
Deduct 329 from 360 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4720.61702127 with a balance of 3.1e-08.
