We look at the division of 831686 by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 831686.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 83 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 83 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 361 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
47 goes into 361 7 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 329 from 361 and we're left with 32.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 326 / 47

Step 4:
If we divide 326 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 176.0
Subtracting 282 from 326 leaves us with 44.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 448 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 448 9 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1769.0
Subtracting 423 from 448 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 256 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 goes into 256 5 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17695.0
If we take 235 away from 256, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17695.4
Subtracting 188 from 210 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
220 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17695.44
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 188 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 17695.44 with a remaining 0.032.
