We divide 55071 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 55071 can be divided by 47.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 55 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 55 to get 8.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 80 / 47

Step 3:
47 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 47 from 80.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 337 / 47

On to step 4:
47 can be fit into 337 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 329 away from 337, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 47

On to step 5:
47 can be fit into 81 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1171.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 47 from 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 6:
The number 47 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1171.7
Subtract 329 from 340 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1171.72
Deduct 94 from 110 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 160 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1171.723
If we take 141 away from 160, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1171.7234
If we take 188 away from 190, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1171.7234
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1171.723404
Subtract 188 from 200 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1171.7234042
If we subtract 94 from 120, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
47 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1171.72340425
Subtracting 235 from 260 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1171.72340425, and the remainder is 2.5e-08.
