We look at the division of 47840578 by 879 
We want to divide 47840578 by 879.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 879 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 879

On to step 2:
The number 879 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 478 / 879

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 478 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 478.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 478 and we're left with 478.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 478, then repeat: 4784 / 879

On to step 4:
879 goes into 4784 5 times with a remainder of 389.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 4395 from 4784, we get 389.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 389, then repeat: 3890 / 879

Step 5:
The number 879 fits into 3890 4 times, leaving a remainder of 374.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 3516 from 3890 and we're left with 374.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 374 and continue with: 3745 / 879

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 3745 by 879, we get 4 and a remainder of 229.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 544.0
Subtract 3516 from 3745 to get 229.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 229 and continue: 2297 / 879

Let's proceed to step 7:
879 can be fit into 2297 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 539.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5442.0
If we subtract 1758 from 2297, we get 539.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 539 and continue with: 5398 / 879

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 5398 by 879, we get 6 and a remainder of 124.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54426.0
If we take 5274 away from 5398, we end up with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
879 goes into 1240 1 times with a remainder of 361.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54426.1
The remainder is 361 after subtracting 879 from 1240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
3610 divided by 879 is 4 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54426.14
Subtracting 3516 from 3610 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 940 by 879, we get 1 and a remainder of 61.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54426.141
Deduct 879 from 940 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 610 by 879, we get 0 with a remainder of 610.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54426.141
If we subtract 0 from 610, we get 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
6100 divided by 879 is 6 with a remainder of 826.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54426.14106
The remainder is 826 after subtracting 5274 from 6100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 879 fits into 8260 9 times, leaving a remainder of 349.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54426.141069
Subtracting 7911 from 8260 leaves us with 349.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
3490 divided by 879 is 3 with a remainder of 853.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54426.1410693
Subtracting 2637 from 3490 leaves us with 853.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8530, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
8530 divided by 879 is 9 with a remainder of 619.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54426.14106939
The remainder is 619 after subtracting 7911 from 8530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6190, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54426.14106939 with a balance of 6.19e-07.
