We're dividing 72957 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 72957 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 47 from 72, we get 25.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 47

On to step 3:
47 can be fit into 259 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 235 from 259.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 47

On to step 4:
47 goes into 245 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we take 235 away from 245, we end up with 10.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 107 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
47 can be fit into 107 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1552.0
If we subtract 94 from 107, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 130 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1552.2
Deduct 94 from 130 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1552.27
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 329 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 310 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1552.276
Deduct 282 from 310 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
47 goes into 280 5 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1552.2765
If we take 235 away from 280, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
450 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1552.27659
Subtract 423 from 450 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
47 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1552.276595
Deduct 235 from 270 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 47 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1552.2765957
Subtracting 329 from 350 leaves us with 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 13:
210 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1552.27659574
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.

Our division results in 1552.27659574 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
