Let's divide 124870 by 47
We want to divide 124870 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 47 is 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.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 12 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 124 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 94 from 124, we get 30.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 308 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 282 from 308.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 267 5 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 265.0
Subtract 235 from 267 to get 32.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 320 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 320 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2656.0
Subtract 282 from 320 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2656.8
If we subtract 376 from 380, we get 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 8:
The number 47 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2656.8
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2656.808
Subtract 376 from 400 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
47 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2656.8085
If we subtract 235 from 240, we get 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 11:
If we divide 50 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2656.80851
If we subtract 47 from 50, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 30 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2656.80851
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2656.8085106
If we subtract 282 from 300, we get 18.
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 14:
When dividing 180 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2656.80851063
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 141 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2656.80851063, and the remainder is 3.9e-08.
