We divide 232378 by 47
Our goal is to divide 232378 by 47.

Step 1:
47 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
23 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 47

On to step 3:
47 goes into 232 4 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 188 from 232.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 443 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 can be fit into 443 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 423 from 443, we get 20.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 207 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
47 goes into 207 4 times with a remainder of 19.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 494.0
Subtract 188 from 207 to get 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
47 can be fit into 198 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4944.0
If we subtract 188 from 198, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
100 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4944.2
Deduct 94 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
47 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4944.21
Subtract 47 from 60 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 130 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4944.212
If we subtract 94 from 130, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4944.2127
If we subtract 329 from 360, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
47 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4944.21276
Subtract 282 from 310 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
47 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4944.212765
If we subtract 235 from 280, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 450 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4944.2127659
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 423 from 450.
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 14:
If we divide 270 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4944.21276595
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 235 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4944.21276595 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
