We're dividing 404724 by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 404724 can be divided by 47.

Step 1:
47 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 404 / 47

On to step 3:
If we divide 404 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 28.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 376 away from 404, we end up with 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 goes into 287 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtract 282 from 287 to get 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 47

Step 5:
52 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 861.0
If we subtract 47 from 52, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 47

On to step 6:
47 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8611.0
Subtracting 47 from 54 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8611.1
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 47 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 230 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8611.14
If we take 188 away from 230, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
420 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8611.148
Subtract 376 from 420 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 440 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8611.1489
Deduct 423 from 440 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8611.14893
Subtract 141 from 170 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 290 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8611.148936
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 282 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8611.1489361
Subtract 47 from 80 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
330 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8611.14893617
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 329 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8611.14893617, and the remainder is 1e-09.
