261432 ÷ 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 261432.

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.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 goes into 261 5 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 235 from 261.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 264 / 47

Step 4:
The number 47 fits into 264 5 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 235 away from 264, we end up with 29.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 293 / 47

On to step 5:
293 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 556.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 282 from 293.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 112 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 112 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5562.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 94 from 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
47 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5562.3
Subtracting 141 from 180 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
The number 47 fits into 390 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5562.38
Deduct 376 from 390 and we're left 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 9:
47 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5562.382
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5562.3829
If we subtract 423 from 460, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 11:
370 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5562.38297
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.

Step 12:
47 goes into 410 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5562.382978
If we take 376 away from 410, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 340 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5562.3829787
If we subtract 329 from 340, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
47 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5562.38297872
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5562.38297872 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
