We divide 408488 by 47
Our goal is to divide 408488 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
47 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in 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.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 408 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 376 from 408, we get 32.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 324 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 goes into 324 6 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 86.0
Subtracting 282 from 324 leaves us with 42.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 428 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 428 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 869.0
If we subtract 423 from 428, we get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 58 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8691.0
Subtracting 47 from 58 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
47 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8691.2
If we subtract 94 from 110, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8691.23
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 190 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8691.234
Deduct 188 from 190 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8691.234
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 11:
47 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8691.23404
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.

Advancing to step 12:
47 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8691.234042
Deduct 94 from 120 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8691.2340425
If we take 235 away from 260, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
47 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8691.23404255
Subtract 235 from 250 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8691.23404255 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
