We're dividing 971955 by 47 
We want to divide 971955 by 47.

On to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 94 from 97 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 47

On to step 3:
When dividing 31 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 319 / 47

On to step 4:
319 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 206.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 282 from 319.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 375 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 375 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2067.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 329 from 375.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 465 / 47

On to step 6:
If we divide 465 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 42.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20679.0
Subtracting 423 from 465 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 420 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20679.8
Subtracting 376 from 420 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
440 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20679.89
If we subtract 423 from 440, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 170 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20679.893
If we subtract 141 from 170, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 290 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20679.8936
Deduct 282 from 290 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20679.89361
Deduct 47 from 80 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 330 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20679.893617
If we take 329 away from 330, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20679.893617
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
100 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20679.89361702
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 94 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 20679.89361702 with a remainder of 6e-09.
