We look at the division of 159462 by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 159462 can be divided by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
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: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 159 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 141 from 159 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 47

On to step 4:
184 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we take 141 away from 184, we end up with 43.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 436 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 436 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 339.0
If we take 423 away from 436, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 47

Step 6:
47 can be fit into 132 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3392.0
Subtracting 94 from 132 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 7:
380 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3392.8
Deduct 376 from 380 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 40 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3392.8
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3392.808
Subtracting 376 from 400 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3392.8085
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 235 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
47 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3392.80851
Deduct 47 from 50 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3392.80851
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3392.8085106
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 282 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 14:
47 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3392.80851063
Subtract 141 from 180 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 3392.80851063, and the remainder is 3.9e-08.
