$$\frac{ 239 }{ 47 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{239}{47}\approx 5.085106383$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $239$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{47)}\phantom{1}\\47\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $47$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $239$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{47)}0\phantom{2}\\47\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $239$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{47)}0\phantom{3}\\47\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Since $23$ is less than $47$, use the next digit $9$ from dividend $239$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{47)}00\phantom{4}\\47\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $9$ from dividend $239$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{47)}00\phantom{5}\\47\overline{)239}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $47$ to $239$. We see that $5 \times 47 = 235$ is the nearest. Now subtract $235$ from $239$ to get reminder $4$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{47)}005\phantom{6}\\47\overline{)239}\\\phantom{47)}\underline{\phantom{}235\phantom{}}\\\phantom{47)99}4\\\end{array}$$

Since $4$ is less than $47$, stop the division. The reminder is $4$. The topmost line $005$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $5$.

$$\text{Quotient: }5$$ $$\text{Reminder: }4$$
