686241 divided by 47 
Our goal is to divide 686241 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
47 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 47

On to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 47 from 68, we get 21.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 216 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
216 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 188 away from 216, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 282 / 47

Step 4:
When dividing 282 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 146.0
If we subtract 282 from 282, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 47

On to step 5:
47 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1460.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 47

Step 6:
If we divide 41 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 41.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14600.0
Deduct 0 from 41 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
410 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14600.8
If we take 376 away from 410, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
340 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14600.87
If we subtract 329 from 340, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 110 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14600.872
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 94 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
47 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14600.8723
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 141 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 190 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14600.87234
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 188 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14600.87234
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

On to step 13:
200 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14600.8723404
Subtracting 188 from 200 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14600.87234042
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 94 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 14600.87234042 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
