We're dividing 977838 by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 977838 can be divided by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 94 from 97.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 37 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 37, we end up with 37.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 378 / 47

On to step 4:
47 can be fit into 378 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 208.0
Subtracting 376 from 378 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 23 0 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2080.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 47

Step 6:
If we divide 238 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20805.0
Deduct 235 from 238 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
47 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20805.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 300 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20805.06
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 282 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20805.063
Subtract 141 from 180 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 390 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20805.0638
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 376 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 20805.06382
If we take 94 away from 140, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 460 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20805.063829
Subtracting 423 from 460 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
47 goes into 370 7 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20805.0638297
Deduct 329 from 370 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
410 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20805.06382978
Subtract 376 from 410 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final result is 20805.06382978 with a remainder of 3.4e-08.
