Let's divide 678847 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 678847 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
67 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 67 to get 20.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 208 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 208 4 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 188 from 208.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 208 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 144.0
If we take 188 away from 208, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
47 can be fit into 204 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1444.0
If we subtract 188 from 204, we get 16.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 167 3 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14443.0
If we subtract 141 from 167, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
260 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14443.5
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14443.55
Deduct 235 from 250 and we're left with 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 14443.55 with a balance of 0.015.
