862984 ÷ 47 
We want to divide 862984 by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 47, we get 0 with 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.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 86 / 47

Step 2:
The number 47 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 47 from 86.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 392 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
392 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 376 away from 392, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 47

On to step 4:
When dividing 169 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 183.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 141 from 169.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
288 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1836.0
Subtracting 282 from 288 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 47

On to step 6:
64 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18361.0
If we subtract 47 from 64, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18361.3
If we take 141 away from 170, we end up with 29.
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 goes into 290 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18361.36
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18361.361
If we take 47 away from 80, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 330 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18361.3617
Deduct 329 from 330 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
47 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18361.3617
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18361.361702
Deduct 94 from 100 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
47 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18361.3617021
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.

Moving on to step 14:
130 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18361.36170212
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 94 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18361.36170212, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
