420479 ÷ 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 420479.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
42 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 420 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 420 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 376 from 420.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 444 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we take 423 away from 444, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
47 can be fit into 217 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 894.0
If we take 188 away from 217, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 299 6 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8946.0
Subtracting 282 from 299 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8946.3
If we subtract 141 from 170, we 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.

Going ahead 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: 8946.36
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8946.361
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8946.3617
Subtracting 329 from 330 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
47 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8946.3617
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

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: 8946.361702
Subtract 94 from 100 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
47 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8946.3617021
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 47 from 60.
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:
When dividing 130 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8946.36170212
If we subtract 94 from 130, we 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.

The final outcome is 8946.36170212, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
