Let's divide 887041 by 47
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 887041.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 88 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 47 away from 88, we end up with 41.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 417 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
417 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 376 away from 417, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 410 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 410 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 188.0
Subtract 376 from 410 to get 34.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 344 / 47

Step 5:
The number 47 fits into 344 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1887.0
Deduct 329 from 344 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 151 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 151 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18873.0
If we subtract 141 from 151, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
100 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18873.2
If we take 94 away from 100, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18873.21
Deduct 47 from 60 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 130 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18873.212
If we subtract 94 from 130, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 10:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18873.2127
Subtracting 329 from 360 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18873.21276
If we take 282 away from 310, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
47 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18873.212765
If we take 235 away from 280, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 450 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18873.2127659
Deduct 423 from 450 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 270 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18873.21276595
Deduct 235 from 270 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18873.21276595 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
