We look at the division of 596187 by 47 
We want to divide 596187 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 47

Step 2:
47 can be fit into 59 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 47 away from 59, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 126 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 94 from 126 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 321 / 47

Step 4:
When dividing 321 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 126.0
Deduct 282 from 321 and we're left with 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 47

Step 5:
398 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1268.0
Subtract 376 from 398 to get 22.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 227 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
47 can be fit into 227 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12684.0
Subtracting 188 from 227 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 390 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12684.8
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12684.82
Subtracting 94 from 140 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12684.829
If we subtract 423 from 460, we get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 370 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12684.8297
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 410 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12684.82978
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 376 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12684.829787
Subtracting 329 from 340 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 110 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12684.8297872
If we take 94 away from 110, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
160 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12684.82978723
Subtracting 141 from 160 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12684.82978723 and a remainder of 1.9e-08.
