We look at the division of 657988 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 657988 by 47.

On to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 65 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
65 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 47 from 65, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 187 / 47

On to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 187 3 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 141 away from 187, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 469 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 469 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 139.0
Subtract 423 from 469 to get 46.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 468 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 468 9 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1399.0
If we take 423 away from 468, we end up with 45.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 458 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 458 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13999.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 423 from 458.
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:
350 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13999.7
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 8:
If we divide 210 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13999.74
Deduct 188 from 210 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 220 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13999.744
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.

After the division, we end up with 13999.744 and a remainder of 0.0032.
