We divide 728899 by 47
We want to divide 728899 by 47.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 47, we get 0 and 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 72 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 258 / 47

On to step 3:
47 can be fit into 258 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 235 from 258, we get 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 47

Step 4:
If we divide 238 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we subtract 235 from 238, we get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 47

Step 5:
If we divide 39 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1550.0
Subtracting 0 from 39 leaves us with 39.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 399 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
47 goes into 399 8 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15508.0
If we subtract 376 from 399, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15508.4
If we subtract 188 from 230, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 goes into 420 8 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15508.48
Deduct 376 from 420 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15508.489
Subtract 423 from 440 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
47 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15508.4893
Subtract 141 from 170 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
47 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15508.48936
If we take 282 away from 290, we end up 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.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15508.489361
Subtracting 47 from 80 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
47 can be fit into 330 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15508.4893617
Subtracting 329 from 330 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15508.4893617
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15508.4893617 with a balance of 1e-08.
