Let's divide 712308 by 47
We want to divide 712308 by 47.

Step 1:
47 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 47

On to step 2:
71 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 47 from 71 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 47

Step 3:
242 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 235 from 242 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 can be fit into 73 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 151.0
If we take 47 away from 73, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
47 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1515.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 235 from 260.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 258 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15155.0
If we take 235 away from 258, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
230 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15155.4
If we subtract 188 from 230, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 can be fit into 420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15155.48
Subtract 376 from 420 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
47 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15155.489
Deduct 423 from 440 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
47 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15155.4893
If we subtract 141 from 170, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
290 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15155.48936
Deduct 282 from 290 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15155.489361
Subtracting 47 from 80 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15155.4893617
Deduct 329 from 330 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
47 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15155.4893617
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 15155.4893617 with a remainder of 1e-08.
