4981 ÷ 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 4981.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 49 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 28 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 281 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 281 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 46.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105.0
Subtracting 235 from 281 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.

Step 5:
When dividing 460 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 105.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
370 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 105.97
Subtract 329 from 370 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 410 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105.978
Deduct 376 from 410 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 105.9787
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105.97872
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.

Step 10:
160 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 105.978723
Subtracting 141 from 160 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
47 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 105.9787234
Subtract 188 from 190 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
47 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105.9787234
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 105.9787234 with a balance of 2e-08.
