740862 divided by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 740862 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 goes into 74 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 74 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 270 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 270 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 235 from 270 and we're left with 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 358 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 157.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 329 from 358.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 296 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 296 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1576.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 282 from 296.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 142 / 47

Step 6:
If we divide 142 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 15763.0
Subtract 141 from 142 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
47 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15763.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15763.02
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 94 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15763.021
If we subtract 47 from 60, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
47 can be fit into 130 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15763.0212
If we subtract 94 from 130, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 15763.02127
If we subtract 329 from 360, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 47 fits into 310 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15763.021276
If we take 282 away from 310, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
47 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15763.0212765
Deduct 235 from 280 and we're left 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 14:
450 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15763.02127659
If we take 423 away from 450, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 15763.02127659 with a balance of 2.7e-08.
