987573 divided by 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 987573.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 47

Step 2:
47 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 94 away from 98, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
47 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 47 from 47 to get 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 210.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 47

Step 5:
57 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2101.0
Deduct 47 from 57 and we're left with 10.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 103 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 103 2 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21012.0
Deduct 94 from 103 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21012.1
Subtract 47 from 90 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 430 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21012.19
If we take 423 away from 430, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 70 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21012.191
If we take 47 away from 70, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
230 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21012.1914
Subtract 188 from 230 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
420 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21012.19148
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 376 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 12:
440 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21012.191489
If we subtract 423 from 440, 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 170 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21012.1914893
If we take 141 away from 170, 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.

Step 14:
290 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21012.19148936
If we subtract 282 from 290, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21012.19148936 with a balance of 8e-09.
