Let's divide 197885 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 197885 can be divided by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 19 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 197 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 188 from 197 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 47

Step 4:
The number 47 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 94 from 98 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 47

On to step 5:
48 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 421.0
Subtracting 47 from 48 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
47 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4210.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4210.3
If we subtract 141 from 150, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 90 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4210.31
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 47 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
430 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4210.319
If we subtract 423 from 430, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 70 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4210.3191
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 47 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 230 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4210.31914
Subtracting 188 from 230 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 420 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4210.319148
Subtract 376 from 420 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 440 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4210.3191489
Deduct 423 from 440 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 14:
170 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4210.31914893
Subtract 141 from 170 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4210.31914893 and a remainder of 2.9e-08.
