518143 ÷ 472 
We want to figure out the number of times 518143 can be divided by 472.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 472, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 472

Let's proceed to step 2:
472 goes into 51 0 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 51, we get 51.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 472

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 472 fits into 518 1 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 472 from 518 and we're left with 46.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 461 / 472

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 461 by 472, we get 0 with a remainder of 461.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 461 after subtracting 0 from 461.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 461, then repeat: 4614 / 472

Going ahead to step 5:
4614 divided by 472 is 9 with a remainder of 366.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 109.0
Deduct 4248 from 4614 and we're left with 366.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 366 and continue with: 3663 / 472

Step 6:
When dividing 3663 by 472, we get 7 with a remainder of 359.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1097.0
Subtracting 3304 from 3663 leaves us with 359.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3590, and continue the process.

Step 7:
472 goes into 3590 7 times with a remainder of 286.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1097.7
The remainder is 286 after subtracting 3304 from 3590.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
472 can be fit into 2860 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1097.76
Subtracting 2832 from 2860 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.

Step 9:
280 divided by 472 is 0 with a remainder of 280.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1097.76
Subtracting 0 from 280 leaves us with 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 2800 by 472, we get 5 with a remainder of 440.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1097.7605
Subtracting 2360 from 2800 leaves us with 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 4400 by 472, we get 9 with a remainder of 152.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1097.76059
The remainder is 152 after subtracting 4248 from 4400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 12:
472 goes into 1520 3 times with a remainder of 104.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1097.760593
If we subtract 1416 from 1520, we get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
472 can be fit into 1040 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1097.7605932
If we subtract 944 from 1040, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 472 fits into 960 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1097.76059322
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 944 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1097.76059322 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
