359871 ÷ 47 
We want to divide 359871 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
47 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 35 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
47 can be fit into 35 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left with 35.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 47

Step 3:
47 can be fit into 359 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 329 away from 359, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 308 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 can be fit into 308 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtracting 282 from 308 leaves us with 26.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 267 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
47 goes into 267 5 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 765.0
If we take 235 away from 267, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 321 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 321 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 39.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7656.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 282 from 321.
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 7:
47 goes into 390 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7656.8
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7656.82
Subtract 94 from 140 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 460 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7656.829
Subtracting 423 from 460 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
47 can be fit into 370 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7656.8297
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 329 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 410 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7656.82978
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 376 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
47 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7656.829787
If we take 329 away from 340, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 110 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7656.8297872
Deduct 94 from 110 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7656.82978723
Subtracting 141 from 160 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7656.82978723 and a remainder of 1.9e-08.
