We're dividing 47589847 by 997 
We want to figure out the number of times 47589847 can be divided by 997.

Advancing to step 1:
997 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 997

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 997, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 475 / 997

Let's proceed to step 3:
997 can be fit into 475 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 475.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 475 leaves us with 475.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 475 and continue with: 4758 / 997

On to step 4:
997 can be fit into 4758 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 770.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 770 after subtracting 3988 from 4758.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 770 and continue with: 7709 / 997

Moving on to step 5:
The number 997 fits into 7709 7 times, leaving a remainder of 730.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 6979 from 7709, we get 730.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 730, then carry on: 7308 / 997

Step 6:
997 goes into 7308 7 times with a remainder of 329.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 477.0
Subtracting 6979 from 7308 leaves us with 329.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 329 and continue: 3294 / 997

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 3294 by 997, we get 3 with a remainder of 303.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4773.0
Subtract 2991 from 3294 to get 303.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 303 and repeat the process: 3037 / 997

On to step 8:
When dividing 3037 by 997, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47733.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 2991 from 3037.
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:
If we divide 460 by 997, we get 0 and a remainder of 460.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47733.0
Subtract 0 from 460 to get 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 997 fits into 4600 4 times, leaving a remainder of 612.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 47733.04
The remainder is 612 after subtracting 3988 from 4600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 6120 by 997, we get 6 and a remainder of 138.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47733.046
Subtracting 5982 from 6120 leaves us with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 997 fits into 1380 1 times, leaving a remainder of 383.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47733.0461
Subtract 997 from 1380 to get 383.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3830, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
997 can be fit into 3830 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 839.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 47733.04613
If we subtract 2991 from 3830, we get 839.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 8390 by 997, we get 8 and a remainder of 414.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47733.046138
If we subtract 7976 from 8390, we get 414.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
4140 divided by 997 is 4 with a remainder of 152.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47733.0461384
If we take 3988 away from 4140, we end up with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 997 fits into 1520 1 times, leaving a remainder of 523.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47733.04613841
The remainder is 523 after subtracting 997 from 1520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5230, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 47733.04613841 and a remainder of 5.23e-07.
