We're dividing 47992985 by 817 
We're looking to find how many times 817 goes into 47992985.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 817 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
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 817

Step 2:
The number 817 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 479 / 817

Advancing to step 3:
479 divided by 817 is 0 with a remainder of 479.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 479, we get 479.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 479 and continue with: 4799 / 817

Step 4:
If we divide 4799 by 817, we get 5 and a remainder of 714.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 714 after subtracting 4085 from 4799.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 714 and continue with: 7142 / 817

On to step 5:
817 goes into 7142 8 times with a remainder of 606.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
Deduct 6536 from 7142 and we're left with 606.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 606, then repeat: 6069 / 817

Step 6:
When dividing 6069 by 817, we get 7 with a remainder of 350.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 587.0
Deduct 5719 from 6069 and we're left with 350.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 350 and repeat the process: 3508 / 817

Moving on to step 7:
817 can be fit into 3508 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 240.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5874.0
Subtract 3268 from 3508 to get 240.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 240, then repeat: 2405 / 817

Step 8:
817 can be fit into 2405 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 771.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58742.0
If we take 1634 away from 2405, we end up with 771.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7710, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
817 can be fit into 7710 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 357.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 58742.9
If we subtract 7353 from 7710, we get 357.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 3570 by 817, we get 4 and a remainder of 302.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58742.94
Subtracting 3268 from 3570 leaves us with 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 3020 by 817, we get 3 and a remainder of 569.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 58742.943
Subtracting 2451 from 3020 leaves us with 569.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5690, and continue the process.

Step 12:
817 goes into 5690 6 times with a remainder of 788.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58742.9436
Deduct 4902 from 5690 and we're left with 788.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 7880 by 817, we get 9 with a remainder of 527.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58742.94369
Deduct 7353 from 7880 and we're left with 527.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5270, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 5270 by 817, we get 6 and a remainder of 368.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 58742.943696
The remainder is 368 after subtracting 4902 from 5270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 3680 by 817, we get 4 and a remainder of 412.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58742.9436964
The remainder is 412 after subtracting 3268 from 3680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4120, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
4120 divided by 817 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58742.94369645
Deduct 4085 from 4120 and we're left 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.

The final result is 58742.94369645 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
