We divide 256087 by 47
We want to divide 256087 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
25 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 256 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
47 can be fit into 256 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 235 away from 256, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 210 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 can be fit into 210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 188 from 210 to get 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 228 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 544.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 188 from 228.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 47

On to step 6:
407 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 31.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5448.0
If we subtract 376 from 407, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
310 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5448.6
Subtracting 282 from 310 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5448.65
If we take 235 away from 280, we end up 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 9:
47 can be fit into 450 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5448.659
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 423 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
47 can be fit into 270 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5448.6595
If we subtract 235 from 270, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5448.65957
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 329 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
210 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5448.659574
If we take 188 away from 210, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5448.6595744
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 188 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5448.6595744 with a balance of 3.2e-07.
