Let's divide 455979 by 47
We want to divide 455979 by 47.

On to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 45 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 45.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 45 to get 45.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 455 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 455 9 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 423 away from 455, we end up with 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 47

On to step 4:
If we divide 329 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97.0
Deduct 329 from 329 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 47

Step 5:
The number 47 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 970.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9701.0
Deduct 47 from 79 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
47 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9701.6
If we subtract 282 from 320, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
47 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9701.68
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 376 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9701.68
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9701.6808
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 11:
If we divide 240 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9701.68085
If we subtract 235 from 240, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9701.680851
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 47 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9701.680851
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9701.68085106
Subtracting 282 from 300 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 9701.68085106 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
