We divide 512869 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 512869 can be divided by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 47

Step 2:
47 goes into 51 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 51 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 47

Step 3:
47 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 42 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 428 / 47

On to step 4:
When dividing 428 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 109.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 423 from 428.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 56 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1091.0
If we subtract 47 from 56, we get 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 47

On to step 6:
47 goes into 99 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10912.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 94 from 99.
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:
47 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10912.1
Deduct 47 from 50 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
30 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10912.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10912.106
If we take 282 away from 300, we end up 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.

Advancing 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: 10912.1063
If we subtract 141 from 180, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
47 goes into 390 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10912.10638
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 140 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10912.106382
If we subtract 94 from 140, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
460 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10912.1063829
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 423 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
47 goes into 370 7 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10912.10638297
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10912.10638297 with a balance of 4.1e-08.
