38708 divided by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 38708.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 387 / 47

Step 3:
47 can be fit into 387 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 376 from 387.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 110 / 47

On to step 4:
When dividing 110 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Deduct 94 from 110 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
168 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 823.0
If we take 141 away from 168, we end up 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.

On to step 6:
If we divide 270 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 823.5
If we take 235 away from 270, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
47 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 823.57
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.

Moving on to step 8:
47 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 823.574
If we take 188 away from 210, we end up 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 9:
47 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 823.5744
Subtract 188 from 220 to get 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 823.5744 with a balance of 0.00032.
