We're dividing 178498 by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 178498.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 47

Step 2:
When dividing 17 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 goes into 178 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 141 from 178.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 374 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 can be fit into 374 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 329 from 374 and we're left with 45.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 459 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
459 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 36.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 379.0
If we take 423 away from 459, we end up with 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 368 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 368 7 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3797.0
If we subtract 329 from 368, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 390 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3797.8
Deduct 376 from 390 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 140 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3797.82
Subtracting 94 from 140 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 460 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3797.829
Subtract 423 from 460 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 370 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3797.8297
Deduct 329 from 370 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 410 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3797.82978
If we take 376 away from 410, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3797.829787
If we take 329 away from 340, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3797.8297872
Subtract 94 from 110 to 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
47 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3797.82978723
Deduct 141 from 160 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3797.82978723 with a balance of 1.9e-08.
