We look at the division of 72471265 by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 72471265 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
47 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 72 to get 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
254 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 235 from 254 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 goes into 197 4 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154.0
Deduct 188 from 197 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 47

Step 5:
If we divide 91 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1541.0
If we subtract 47 from 91, we get 44.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 442 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
47 can be fit into 442 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15419.0
If we take 423 away from 442, we end up with 19.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 196 / 47

On to step 7:
47 can be fit into 196 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154194.0
Subtract 188 from 196 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 47

Step 8:
When dividing 85 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1541941.0
If we subtract 47 from 85, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
380 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1541941.8
Subtracting 376 from 380 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1541941.8
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1541941.808
Subtracting 376 from 400 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 47 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1541941.8085
Subtracting 235 from 240 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
47 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1541941.80851
If we take 47 away from 50, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 30 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1541941.80851
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 300 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1541941.8085106
Deduct 282 from 300 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 180 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1541941.80851063
Subtract 141 from 180 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1541941.80851063 with a remaining 3.9e-08.
