We're dividing 262720 by 47 
We want to divide 262720 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
47 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
26 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 262 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
47 goes into 262 5 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 235 from 262 and we're left with 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 goes into 277 5 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we subtract 235 from 277, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
47 goes into 422 8 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 558.0
If we subtract 376 from 422, we get 46.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 460 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5589.0
Subtract 423 from 460 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
47 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5589.7
Subtract 329 from 370 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5589.78
If we take 376 away from 410, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
340 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5589.787
If we take 329 away from 340, we end up with 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 10:
47 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5589.7872
Subtract 94 from 110 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
47 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5589.78723
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.

Moving on to step 12:
47 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5589.787234
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5589.787234
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5589.78723404
If we take 188 away from 200, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 5589.78723404 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
