280941 ÷ 47 
Our goal is to divide 280941 by 47.

Step 1:
47 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
47 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 47

Step 3:
280 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 235 away from 280, we end up with 45.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 459 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
459 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 423 from 459 leaves us with 36.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 364 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 364 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 597.0
Subtracting 329 from 364 leaves us with 35.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 351 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
47 goes into 351 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5977.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 329 from 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5977.4
If we take 188 away from 220, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
320 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5977.46
Deduct 282 from 320 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
47 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5977.468
If we take 376 away from 380, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
47 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5977.468
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.

Advancing to step 11:
400 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5977.46808
If we take 376 away from 400, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 240 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5977.468085
If we take 235 away from 240, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5977.4680851
Subtract 47 from 50 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5977.4680851
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5977.4680851, with a leftover of 3e-08.
