We look at the division of 46987 by 35 
Our goal is to divide 46987 by 35.

Step 1:
35 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 35

Advancing to step 2:
The number 35 fits into 46 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 35 from 46 to get 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 35

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 119 by 35, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 105 away from 119, we end up with 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 35

On to step 4:
The number 35 fits into 148 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
Subtract 140 from 148 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 35

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 35 fits into 87 2 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1342.0
If we subtract 70 from 87, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
35 can be fit into 170 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1342.4
If we subtract 140 from 170, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 35 fits into 300 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1342.48
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 35 fits into 200 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1342.485
If we take 175 away from 200, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 9:
250 divided by 35 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1342.4857
Subtracting 245 from 250 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
50 divided by 35 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1342.48571
Subtract 35 from 50 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
150 divided by 35 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1342.485714
If we subtract 140 from 150, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 35 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1342.4857142
If we take 70 away from 100, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
35 can be fit into 300 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1342.48571428
Subtracting 280 from 300 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final result is 1342.48571428 with a remainder of 2e-08.
