We look at the division of 487233 by 47 
We want to divide 487233 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 47

Step 2:
48 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 48 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 47

On to step 3:
When dividing 17 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 172 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 172 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 103.0
If we subtract 141 from 172, we get 31.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 313 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 313 6 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1036.0
If we take 282 away from 313, we end up with 31.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 313 / 47

Step 6:
When dividing 313 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 31.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10366.0
Subtracting 282 from 313 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 310 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10366.6
Deduct 282 from 310 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
47 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10366.65
Subtract 235 from 280 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 450 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10366.659
If we take 423 away from 450, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 270 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10366.6595
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10366.65957
Deduct 329 from 350 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 210 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10366.659574
If we take 188 away from 210, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 10366.6595744
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.

Our division results in 10366.6595744 with a remaining 3.2e-07.
