We divide 259056 by 47
Our goal is to divide 259056 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 47

Step 3:
47 goes into 259 5 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 235 from 259 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 240 / 47

On to step 4:
47 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 235 away from 240, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 47

On to step 5:
55 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 551.0
If we subtract 47 from 55, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 86 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5511.0
Deduct 47 from 86 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
390 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5511.8
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 376 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
140 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5511.82
Subtracting 94 from 140 leaves us 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 9:
When dividing 460 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5511.829
Deduct 423 from 460 and we're left with 37.
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 10:
47 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5511.8297
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
47 goes into 410 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5511.82978
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 376 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5511.829787
If we take 329 away from 340, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5511.8297872
Subtract 94 from 110 to get 16.
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 14:
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: 5511.82978723
If we subtract 141 from 160, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

The final result is 5511.82978723 with a remainder of 1.9e-08.
