We divide 371981 by 472
Our goal is to divide 371981 by 472.

Moving on to step 1:
472 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 472

On to step 2:
472 can be fit into 37 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 37, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 371 / 472

Let's proceed to step 3:
472 goes into 371 0 times with a remainder of 371.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 371 after subtracting 0 from 371.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 371, then repeat: 3719 / 472

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 3719 by 472, we get 7 and a remainder of 415.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 3304 from 3719 leaves us with 415.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 415, then carry on: 4158 / 472

On to step 5:
When dividing 4158 by 472, we get 8 with a remainder of 382.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 78.0
If we subtract 3776 from 4158, we get 382.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 382 and repeat the process: 3821 / 472

Going ahead to step 6:
472 goes into 3821 8 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 788.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 3776 from 3821.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 450 by 472, we get 0 with a remainder of 450.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 788.0
Subtracting 0 from 450 leaves us with 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
472 goes into 4500 9 times with a remainder of 252.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 788.09
If we subtract 4248 from 4500, we get 252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
472 can be fit into 2520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 160.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 788.095
If we subtract 2360 from 2520, we get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
472 goes into 1600 3 times with a remainder of 184.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 788.0953
If we subtract 1416 from 1600, we get 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 1840 by 472, we get 3 with a remainder of 424.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 788.09533
If we take 1416 away from 1840, we end up with 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 788.09533, and the remainder is 0.000424.
