471987 ÷ 35 
We want to figure out the number of times 471987 can be divided by 35.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 35, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 35

Advancing to step 2:
35 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 35 from 47 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 35

Advancing to step 3:
35 can be fit into 121 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtract 105 from 121 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 35

Advancing to step 4:
169 divided by 35 is 4 with a remainder of 29.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 134.0
Deduct 140 from 169 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 35

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 35 fits into 298 8 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1348.0
Deduct 280 from 298 and we're left with 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 35

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 35 fits into 187 5 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13485.0
Subtracting 175 from 187 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 120 by 35, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13485.3
Subtracting 105 from 120 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
35 can be fit into 150 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13485.34
Deduct 140 from 150 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
100 divided by 35 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13485.342
If we subtract 70 from 100, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 35, we get 8 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13485.3428
If we subtract 280 from 300, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 35, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13485.34285
If we take 175 away from 200, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 250 by 35, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13485.342857
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 245 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
35 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13485.3428571
Subtract 35 from 50 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.

Step 14:
35 goes into 150 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13485.34285714
If we subtract 140 from 150, we 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.

The final outcome is 13485.34285714, with a leftover of 1e-08.
