Let's divide 898493 by 47
We want to divide 898493 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 89 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 47 from 89, we get 42.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 428 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
428 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 423 from 428, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 191.0
Subtracting 47 from 54 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
47 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1911.0
Subtract 47 from 79 to get 32.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 323 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
323 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19116.0
Subtract 282 from 323 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
47 goes into 410 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19116.8
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 376 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
340 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19116.87
Deduct 329 from 340 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
47 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19116.872
Subtracting 94 from 110 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
47 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19116.8723
If we subtract 141 from 160, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 190 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19116.87234
Subtract 188 from 190 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19116.87234
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19116.8723404
If we take 188 away from 200, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19116.87234042
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 94 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 19116.87234042 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
