Let's divide 798970 by 47
Our goal is to divide 798970 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
7 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
79 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 79 and we're left with 32.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 328 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
328 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 282 away from 328, we end up with 46.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 469 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 469 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
Subtract 423 from 469 to get 46.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 467 / 47

Step 5:
47 goes into 467 9 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1699.0
Subtract 423 from 467 to get 44.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 440 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 440 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16999.0
Deduct 423 from 440 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 170 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16999.3
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 141 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 16999.36
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16999.361
Subtract 47 from 80 to get 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 10:
If we divide 330 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16999.3617
If we subtract 329 from 330, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 11:
47 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16999.3617
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Moving on to step 12:
47 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16999.361702
Subtract 94 from 100 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16999.3617021
Subtracting 47 from 60 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 14:
130 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 16999.36170212
Subtracting 94 from 130 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16999.36170212 with a remaining 3.6e-08.
