722878 ÷ 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 722878.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 47

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
Deduct 47 from 72 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 252 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 235 away from 252, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 178 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 153.0
Subtract 141 from 178 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 377 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 377 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1538.0
Subtracting 376 from 377 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 47

Step 6:
If we divide 18 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15380.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15380.3
Deduct 141 from 180 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 8:
390 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15380.38
Subtracting 376 from 390 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
140 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15380.382
Deduct 94 from 140 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 460 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15380.3829
Deduct 423 from 460 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 goes into 370 7 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15380.38297
If we take 329 away from 370, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 12:
410 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15380.382978
If we take 376 away from 410, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
47 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15380.3829787
If we take 329 away from 340, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
110 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15380.38297872
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 94 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15380.38297872 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
