We look at the division of 47040237 by 987 
Let's see how many times 987 fits into 47040237.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 987, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 987

On to step 2:
47 divided by 987 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 470 / 987

Going ahead to step 3:
987 goes into 470 0 times with a remainder of 470.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 470 leaves us with 470.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 470 and continue: 4704 / 987

Advancing to step 4:
4704 divided by 987 is 4 with a remainder of 756.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 3948 away from 4704, we end up with 756.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 756, then repeat: 7560 / 987

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 7560 by 987, we get 7 and a remainder of 651.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 6909 away from 7560, we end up with 651.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 651 and continue with: 6512 / 987

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 6512 by 987, we get 6 and a remainder of 590.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 476.0
Subtracting 5922 from 6512 leaves us with 590.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 590, then repeat: 5903 / 987

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 5903 by 987, we get 5 and a remainder of 968.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4765.0
Deduct 4935 from 5903 and we're left with 968.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 968 and repeat the process: 9687 / 987

On to step 8:
9687 divided by 987 is 9 with a remainder of 804.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47659.0
If we take 8883 away from 9687, we end up with 804.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8040, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 8040 by 987, we get 8 with a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47659.8
Deduct 7896 from 8040 and we're left with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
1440 divided by 987 is 1 with a remainder of 453.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47659.81
Subtract 987 from 1440 to get 453.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
987 can be fit into 4530 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 582.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47659.814
Deduct 3948 from 4530 and we're left with 582.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5820, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
987 can be fit into 5820 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 885.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47659.8145
If we take 4935 away from 5820, we end up with 885.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8850, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
8850 divided by 987 is 8 with a remainder of 954.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47659.81458
Deduct 7896 from 8850 and we're left with 954.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 9540 by 987, we get 9 with a remainder of 657.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 47659.814589
If we take 8883 away from 9540, we end up with 657.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6570, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
6570 divided by 987 is 6 with a remainder of 648.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47659.8145896
Deduct 5922 from 6570 and we're left with 648.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
987 goes into 6480 6 times with a remainder of 558.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47659.81458966
If we take 5922 away from 6480, we end up with 558.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5580, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 47659.81458966 and a remainder of 5.58e-07.
