We look at the division of 478753 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 478753 by 47.

Let's proceed 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
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 47

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 47 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 47

On to step 3:
8 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 47

Step 4:
47 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 101.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 47 from 87.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 405 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 405 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1018.0
Subtract 376 from 405 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 293 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 goes into 293 6 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10186.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 282 from 293.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10186.2
If we take 94 away from 110, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10186.23
If we subtract 141 from 160, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10186.234
If we take 188 away from 190, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10186.234
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
47 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10186.23404
Subtract 188 from 200 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10186.234042
Subtracting 94 from 120 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
260 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10186.2340425
Deduct 235 from 260 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 47 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10186.23404255
If we subtract 235 from 250, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10186.23404255, with a leftover of 1.5e-08.
