We divide 551747 by 47
We want to divide 551747 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
47 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 47

Step 2:
55 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 55 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 81 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 47 from 81.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 347 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
347 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we subtract 329 from 347, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 47

On to step 5:
When dividing 184 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1173.0
Subtract 141 from 184 to get 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
47 goes into 437 9 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11739.0
Subtract 423 from 437 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
140 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11739.2
Deduct 94 from 140 and we're left with 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 8:
If we divide 460 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11739.29
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11739.297
If we subtract 329 from 370, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 410 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11739.2978
If we subtract 376 from 410, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
340 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11739.29787
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 329 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 110 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11739.297872
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 94 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11739.2978723
Deduct 141 from 160 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 14:
47 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11739.29787234
If we take 188 away from 190, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 11739.29787234 with a remainder of 2e-09.
