We look at the division of 140265 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 140265 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
47 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 14 and we're left with 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
140 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 94 from 140, we get 46.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 462 / 47

Step 4:
462 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 39.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 423 away from 462, we end up with 39.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 396 / 47

On to step 5:
If we divide 396 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 298.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 376 from 396.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 205 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 205 4 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2984.0
Deduct 188 from 205 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
47 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2984.3
If we subtract 141 from 170, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
47 goes into 290 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2984.36
Deduct 282 from 290 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2984.361
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 47 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
330 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2984.3617
Subtract 329 from 330 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 11:
47 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2984.3617
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2984.361702
If we take 94 away from 100, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
60 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2984.3617021
If we subtract 47 from 60, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
130 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2984.36170212
Subtract 94 from 130 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2984.36170212 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
