Let's divide 251737 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 251737 can be divided by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 251 / 47

Step 3:
If we divide 251 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 235 from 251 leaves us with 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 167 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 141 from 167 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 263 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 263 5 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 535.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 235 from 263.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 287 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5356.0
If we subtract 282 from 287, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5356.1
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 47 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 30 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5356.1
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 300 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5356.106
Deduct 282 from 300 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
47 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5356.1063
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 141 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
47 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5356.10638
Subtracting 376 from 390 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5356.106382
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 94 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
47 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5356.1063829
Deduct 423 from 460 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
370 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5356.10638297
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 329 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5356.10638297 and a remainder of 4.1e-08.
