500877 ÷ 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 500877 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 47

Step 2:
When dividing 50 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 47 away from 50, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
47 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
308 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106.0
If we take 282 away from 308, we end up with 26.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 267 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
47 can be fit into 267 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1065.0
If we take 235 away from 267, we end up with 32.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 327 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
47 can be fit into 327 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10656.0
If we take 282 away from 327, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
450 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10656.9
If we subtract 423 from 450, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 270 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10656.95
If we subtract 235 from 270, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10656.957
If we take 329 away from 350, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 210 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10656.9574
Deduct 188 from 210 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
47 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10656.95744
Deduct 188 from 220 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10656.95744 with a balance of 3.2e-05.
