Let's divide 47221487 by 973
Let's see how many times 973 fits into 47221487.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 973, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 973

Going ahead to step 2:
47 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 472 / 973

Moving on to step 3:
973 can be fit into 472 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 472.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 472 after subtracting 0 from 472.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 472, then repeat: 4722 / 973

Going ahead to step 4:
973 goes into 4722 4 times with a remainder of 830.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 3892 from 4722 and we're left with 830.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 830 and repeat the process: 8301 / 973

Let's proceed to step 5:
973 can be fit into 8301 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 517.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 7784 from 8301 leaves us with 517.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 517 and repeat the process: 5174 / 973

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 5174 by 973, we get 5 with a remainder of 309.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 485.0
The remainder is 309 after subtracting 4865 from 5174.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 309, then carry on: 3098 / 973

Advancing to step 7:
973 can be fit into 3098 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 179.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4853.0
If we take 2919 away from 3098, we end up with 179.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 179 and repeat the process: 1797 / 973

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 1797 by 973, we get 1 and a remainder of 824.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 48531.0
If we subtract 973 from 1797, we get 824.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
8240 divided by 973 is 8 with a remainder of 456.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48531.8
Deduct 7784 from 8240 and we're left with 456.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 973 fits into 4560 4 times, leaving a remainder of 668.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48531.84
Deduct 3892 from 4560 and we're left with 668.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 6680 by 973, we get 6 with a remainder of 842.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48531.846
If we subtract 5838 from 6680, we get 842.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 973 fits into 8420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 636.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48531.8468
The remainder is 636 after subtracting 7784 from 8420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 6360 by 973, we get 6 and a remainder of 522.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48531.84686
If we subtract 5838 from 6360, we get 522.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5220, and continue the process.

Step 14:
973 goes into 5220 5 times with a remainder of 355.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48531.846865
Subtract 4865 from 5220 to get 355.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3550, and continue the process.

Step 15:
973 goes into 3550 3 times with a remainder of 631.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48531.8468653
Deduct 2919 from 3550 and we're left with 631.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 973 fits into 6310 6 times, leaving a remainder of 472.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48531.84686536
Subtract 5838 from 6310 to get 472.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 48531.84686536 with a balance of 4.72e-07.
