872342 divided by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 872342.

Advancing to step 1:
47 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 47

On to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 40.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 87 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 47

Step 3:
The number 47 fits into 402 8 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 376 away from 402, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 47

On to step 4:
263 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 185.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 235 from 263.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 284 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
47 goes into 284 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1856.0
Subtracting 282 from 284 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 47

On to step 6:
47 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18560.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18560.4
If we take 188 away from 220, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
47 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18560.46
Deduct 282 from 320 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 47 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18560.468
Subtracting 376 from 380 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18560.468
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
400 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18560.46808
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 376 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
47 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18560.468085
If we take 235 away from 240, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 47 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18560.4680851
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 47 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18560.4680851
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18560.4680851 and a remainder of 3e-08.
