We divide 852531 by 47
Our goal is to divide 852531 by 47.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 85 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 47 away from 85, we end up with 38.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 382 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 382 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 376 from 382 to get 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 goes into 65 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we subtract 47 from 65, we get 18.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 183 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 183 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1813.0
If we subtract 141 from 183, we get 42.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
421 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18138.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 376 from 421.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 7:
47 can be fit into 450 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18138.9
If we take 423 away from 450, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
270 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18138.95
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 235 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18138.957
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 329 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
210 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18138.9574
Subtract 188 from 210 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
220 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18138.95744
If we take 188 away from 220, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 18138.95744 and a remainder of 3.2e-05.
