We look at the division of 577961 by 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 577961.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 57 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 47 from 57 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 107 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 107 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 94 away from 107, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 139 / 47

On to step 4:
139 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 94 from 139.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 456 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 456 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1229.0
If we take 423 away from 456, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 331 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 331 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12297.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 329 from 331.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12297.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12297.04
Deduct 188 from 200 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
120 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12297.042
Subtracting 94 from 120 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12297.0425
Subtracting 235 from 260 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
250 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12297.04255
Subtract 235 from 250 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12297.04255, and the remainder is 1.5e-05.
