551884 ÷ 47 
Our goal is to divide 551884 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 47 from 55, we get 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 81 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 47 from 81, we get 34.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 348 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 348 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtract 329 from 348 to get 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 198 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1174.0
Subtracting 188 from 198 leaves us with 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 47

On to step 6:
When dividing 104 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11742.0
If we subtract 94 from 104, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11742.2
Subtract 94 from 100 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11742.21
Subtract 47 from 60 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 130 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11742.212
Deduct 94 from 130 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
47 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11742.2127
Subtract 329 from 360 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 47 fits into 310 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11742.21276
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 282 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 280 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11742.212765
Subtracting 235 from 280 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 450 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11742.2127659
Deduct 423 from 450 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
47 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11742.21276595
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 235 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11742.21276595, with a leftover of 3.5e-08.
