We divide 260999 by 47
We want to divide 260999 by 47.

Step 1:
47 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 47

Step 2:
When dividing 26 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 260 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 235 away from 260, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 47

On to step 4:
If we divide 259 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 235 from 259 and we're left with 24.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 249 / 47

Step 5:
249 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 555.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 235 from 249.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 47

On to step 6:
When dividing 149 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5553.0
If we subtract 141 from 149, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
80 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5553.1
Subtract 47 from 80 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 8:
47 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5553.17
If we take 329 away from 330, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 10 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5553.17
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 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 10:
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: 5553.1702
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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5553.17021
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 12:
If we divide 130 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5553.170212
Subtract 94 from 130 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5553.1702127
Subtract 329 from 360 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 310 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5553.17021276
Subtracting 282 from 310 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 5553.17021276 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
