Let's divide 987452 by 47
We want to divide 987452 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 47

Step 2:
47 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 94 from 98 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 47 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 47 from 47 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 210.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 47

Step 5:
45 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2100.0
If we take 0 away from 45, we end up with 45.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 452 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 452 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21009.0
Deduct 423 from 452 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
47 goes into 290 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21009.6
Subtracting 282 from 290 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
80 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21009.61
Deduct 47 from 80 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
47 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21009.617
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.

Moving on to step 10:
47 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21009.617
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 21009.61702
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 94 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
60 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21009.617021
Deduct 47 from 60 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21009.6170212
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 94 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21009.61702127
Subtracting 329 from 360 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.

The quotient of the division is 21009.61702127, and the remainder is 3.1e-08.
