Let's divide 742797 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 742797 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 47

On to step 2:
74 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 74 to get 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
47 can be fit into 272 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 235 from 272 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 377 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 158.0
If we take 376 away from 377, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1580.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 47

Step 6:
The number 47 fits into 197 4 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15804.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 188 from 197.
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:
When dividing 90 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15804.1
If we subtract 47 from 90, we 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 430 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15804.19
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 423 from 430.
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:
If we divide 70 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15804.191
If we subtract 47 from 70, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 230 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15804.1914
Subtracting 188 from 230 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15804.19148
If we subtract 376 from 420, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 440 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15804.191489
If we take 423 away from 440, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15804.1914893
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 141 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
47 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15804.19148936
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 15804.19148936 with a balance of 8e-09.
