We look at the division of 272901 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 272901 by 47.

Step 1:
2 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 272 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 272 5 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 235 from 272, we get 37.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 379 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 379 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
Subtract 376 from 379 to get 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
47 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 580.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 301 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
301 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5806.0
Subtract 282 from 301 to get 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 7:
The number 47 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5806.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 188 from 190.
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 8:
20 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5806.4
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.

Step 9:
47 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5806.404
If we subtract 188 from 200, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5806.4042
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.

Advancing to step 11:
47 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5806.40425
Deduct 235 from 260 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
47 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5806.404255
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 235 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5806.404255 with a balance of 1.5e-06.
