686941 divided by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 686941 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
47 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 47

Step 2:
The number 47 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 47 from 68.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 47

On to step 3:
47 can be fit into 216 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 188 away from 216, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 47

On to step 4:
When dividing 289 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
Subtract 282 from 289 to get 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
47 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1461.0
If we take 47 away from 74, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 271 / 47

Step 6:
47 can be fit into 271 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14615.0
Subtract 235 from 271 to 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.

On to step 7:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14615.7
Deduct 329 from 360 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
47 can be fit into 310 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14615.76
Subtracting 282 from 310 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
280 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14615.765
Subtract 235 from 280 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
450 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14615.7659
Subtracting 423 from 450 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
270 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14615.76595
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.

On to step 12:
47 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14615.765957
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 329 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 210 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14615.7659574
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 188 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
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: 14615.76595744
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.

The final result is 14615.76595744 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
