We look at the division of 487742 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 487742 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
47 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 48 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 47

On to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 47

On to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 177 3 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 103.0
Deduct 141 from 177 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 364 / 47

Step 5:
47 goes into 364 7 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1037.0
Subtracting 329 from 364 leaves us with 35.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 352 / 47

On to step 6:
47 can be fit into 352 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10377.0
Subtract 329 from 352 to 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10377.4
Deduct 188 from 230 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10377.48
If we take 376 away from 420, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
440 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10377.489
Deduct 423 from 440 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
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: 10377.4893
Deduct 141 from 170 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10377.48936
Subtract 282 from 290 to 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.

Moving on to step 12:
47 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10377.489361
If we take 47 away from 80, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
47 can be fit into 330 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10377.4893617
If we subtract 329 from 330, we 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 14:
When dividing 10 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10377.4893617
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10377.4893617 with a remaining 1e-08.
