Let's divide 358538 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 358538 can be divided by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 3 0 times, leaving 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 (5) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 35 / 47

On to step 2:
When dividing 35 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 35 to get 35.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 358 / 47

Step 3:
358 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 329 from 358 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 295 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 295 6 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtracting 282 from 295 leaves us with 13.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 133 / 47

On to step 5:
47 goes into 133 2 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 762.0
Subtract 94 from 133 to get 39.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 398 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 398 8 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7628.0
If we subtract 376 from 398, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
47 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7628.4
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 188 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7628.46
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 282 from 320.
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 9:
47 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7628.468
Subtract 376 from 380 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
47 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7628.468
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 400 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7628.46808
Subtract 376 from 400 to 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.

On to step 12:
47 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7628.468085
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 13:
When dividing 50 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7628.4680851
If we subtract 47 from 50, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 30 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7628.4680851
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.

Our division results in 7628.4680851 with a remaining 3e-08.
