We're dividing 731538 by 47 
We want to divide 731538 by 47.

Step 1:
7 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 47

On to step 2:
47 goes into 73 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 47 from 73, we get 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 can be fit into 261 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 235 from 261 to get 26.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 265 / 47

On to step 4:
If we divide 265 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtract 235 from 265 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 303 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
303 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1556.0
Subtracting 282 from 303 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
47 goes into 218 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15564.0
If we take 188 away from 218, 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15564.6
If we subtract 282 from 300, we get 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 8:
47 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15564.63
Subtracting 141 from 180 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 390 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15564.638
Subtracting 376 from 390 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
47 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15564.6382
Deduct 94 from 140 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 460 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15564.63829
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 423 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
370 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15564.638297
If we take 329 away from 370, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
47 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15564.6382978
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15564.63829787
If we take 329 away from 340, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15564.63829787 with a remaining 1.1e-08.
