Let's divide 511870 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 511870 can be divided by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
47 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 51 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 47 from 51 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 can be fit into 41 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 0 from 41.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 418 / 47

Step 4:
The number 47 fits into 418 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 376 from 418, we get 42.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 427 / 47

On to step 5:
When dividing 427 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1089.0
If we take 423 away from 427, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10890.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10890.8
Subtracting 376 from 400 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10890.85
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 235 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10890.851
Subtracting 47 from 50 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 10:
47 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10890.851
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
300 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10890.85106
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 282 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
180 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10890.851063
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.

Moving on to step 13:
390 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10890.8510638
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
47 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10890.85106382
Subtract 94 from 140 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10890.85106382 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
