We look at the division of 7971 by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 7971.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 47

Step 2:
47 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 47 from 79.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
47 goes into 327 6 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 282 from 327 and we're left with 45.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 451 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
451 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 28.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 423 from 451.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 5:
47 can be fit into 280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169.5
If we take 235 away from 280, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
450 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.59
Subtracting 423 from 450 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
47 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 169.595
Subtract 235 from 270 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 169.5957
Subtracting 329 from 350 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
210 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 169.59574
Deduct 188 from 210 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 169.595744
Subtracting 188 from 220 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 169.595744 with a remainder of 3.2e-06.
