We're dividing 41698 by 47 
We want to divide 41698 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
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 41 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 41 to get 41.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 416 / 47

Step 3:
When dividing 416 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 376 from 416 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 409 / 47

Step 4:
409 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 376 from 409.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 47

On to step 5:
47 can be fit into 338 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 887.0
If we subtract 329 from 338, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
47 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 887.1
If we take 47 away from 90, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
430 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 887.19
Deduct 423 from 430 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
47 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 887.191
If we subtract 47 from 70, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 230 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 887.1914
If we take 188 away from 230, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 887.19148
Subtract 376 from 420 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 887.191489
If we subtract 423 from 440, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
170 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 887.1914893
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 141 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 290 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 887.19148936
If we subtract 282 from 290, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 887.19148936 with a balance of 8e-09.
