We look at the division of 996669 by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 996669 can be divided by 47.

Step 1:
47 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 47

On to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 94 from 99 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
56 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 47 from 56, we get 9.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 96 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 goes into 96 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212.0
If we subtract 94 from 96, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 47

On to step 5:
47 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2120.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 269 / 47

On to step 6:
When dividing 269 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21205.0
If we take 235 away from 269, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
47 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21205.7
Deduct 329 from 340 and we're left 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 8:
47 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21205.72
Subtracting 94 from 110 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
47 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21205.723
Deduct 141 from 160 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
190 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21205.7234
Subtract 188 from 190 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
20 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21205.7234
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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 12:
47 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21205.723404
If we take 188 away from 200, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
120 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21205.7234042
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 94 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
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: 21205.72340425
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.

Our division results in 21205.72340425 with a remaining 2.5e-08.
