861984 divided by 47 
We want to divide 861984 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
86 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 47 from 86.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 391 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 goes into 391 8 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 376 from 391, we get 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 159 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 183.0
Deduct 141 from 159 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 188 / 47

On to step 5:
188 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1834.0
Subtract 188 from 188 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
4 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18340.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18340.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
400 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18340.08
If we subtract 376 from 400, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18340.085
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.

Step 10:
50 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18340.0851
Subtract 47 from 50 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
47 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18340.0851
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18340.085106
Subtract 282 from 300 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 180 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18340.0851063
If we take 141 away from 180, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
47 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18340.08510638
If we subtract 376 from 390, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18340.08510638 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
