Let's divide 388658 by 47
We want to divide 388658 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
388 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 376 from 388.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 47

On to step 4:
When dividing 126 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 82.0
If we subtract 94 from 126, we get 32.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 325 / 47

On to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 325 6 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 826.0
If we take 282 away from 325, we end up with 43.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 438 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
47 goes into 438 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8269.0
Subtracting 423 from 438 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
47 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8269.3
If we take 141 away from 150, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
47 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8269.31
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 47 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 9:
430 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8269.319
Subtract 423 from 430 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 70 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8269.3191
If we subtract 47 from 70, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 230 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8269.31914
Subtracting 188 from 230 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 420 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8269.319148
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 376 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 440 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8269.3191489
Subtracting 423 from 440 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
47 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8269.31914893
Subtracting 141 from 170 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 8269.31914893, and the remainder is 2.9e-08.
