We divide 515986 by 47
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 515986.

Let's proceed to step 1:
47 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 47

Step 2:
51 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 51 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 459 / 47

Step 4:
47 goes into 459 9 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 109.0
Deduct 423 from 459 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
368 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1097.0
Subtract 329 from 368 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 396 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 396 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10978.0
Deduct 376 from 396 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 200 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10978.4
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.

Advancing to step 8:
47 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10978.42
Subtract 94 from 120 to 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.

Step 9:
47 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10978.425
Subtracting 235 from 260 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
47 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10978.4255
Subtract 235 from 250 to get 15.
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 10978.4255 with a balance of 0.00015.
