We look at the division of 985993 by 47 
We want to divide 985993 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
47 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 94 from 98 to get 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 45 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 45, we end up with 45.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 459 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 459 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 209.0
Deduct 423 from 459 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 369 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 369 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2097.0
Subtracting 329 from 369 leaves us with 40.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 403 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
47 goes into 403 8 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20978.0
Subtracting 376 from 403 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 270 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20978.5
Subtracting 235 from 270 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
47 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20978.57
Subtract 329 from 350 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
47 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20978.574
Subtracting 188 from 210 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
47 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20978.5744
Deduct 188 from 220 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 20978.5744 with a balance of 0.00032.
