We're dividing 235540 by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 235540.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 235 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 235 from 235, we get 0.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 5 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 5 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 47

Step 5:
If we divide 54 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 501.0
If we take 47 away from 54, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5011.0
If we take 47 away from 70, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 7:
47 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5011.4
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 188 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 420 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5011.48
Subtract 376 from 420 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
47 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5011.489
If we take 423 away from 440, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
170 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5011.4893
If we subtract 141 from 170, we 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 11:
290 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5011.48936
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 12:
47 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5011.489361
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.

Step 13:
The number 47 fits into 330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5011.4893617
Subtract 329 from 330 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
10 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5011.4893617
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 5011.4893617, and the remainder is 1e-08.
