69871 divided by 47 
We want to divide 69871 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
47 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 47

On to step 2:
47 goes into 69 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 69 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 can be fit into 228 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 188 from 228.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 47

On to step 4:
If we divide 407 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 31.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 148.0
Deduct 376 from 407 and we're left with 31.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 311 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 311 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1486.0
If we take 282 away from 311, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
290 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1486.6
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 282 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
47 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1486.61
If we subtract 47 from 80, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
47 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1486.617
Subtract 329 from 330 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
47 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1486.617
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1486.61702
Subtract 94 from 100 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 60 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1486.617021
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 47 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1486.6170212
Subtracting 94 from 130 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1486.61702127
If we take 329 away from 360, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1486.61702127 with a remaining 3.1e-08.
