We divide 72998877 by 47
We want to divide 72998877 by 47.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 47 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 259 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
259 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 235 away from 259, we end up with 24.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 249 / 47

Step 4:
If we divide 249 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we take 235 away from 249, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 148 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1553.0
If we subtract 141 from 148, we get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 47

Step 6:
78 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15531.0
Subtracting 47 from 78 leaves us with 31.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 317 / 47

Let's proceed to step 7:
317 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 35.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155316.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 282 from 317.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 357 / 47

On to step 8:
When dividing 357 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1553167.0
If we take 329 away from 357, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1553167.5
If we subtract 235 from 280, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
450 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1553167.59
Subtracting 423 from 450 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 270 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1553167.595
Deduct 235 from 270 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
350 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1553167.5957
Subtract 329 from 350 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 210 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1553167.59574
If we subtract 188 from 210, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 220 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1553167.595744
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.

The quotient of the division is 1553167.595744, and the remainder is 3.2e-06.
