We're dividing 878725 by 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 878725.

Advancing to step 1:
47 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 47

On to step 2:
If we divide 87 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 87 to get 40.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 408 / 47

Step 3:
47 can be fit into 408 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 376 from 408, we get 32.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 327 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
327 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 186.0
Subtract 282 from 327 to get 45.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 452 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
452 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1869.0
Subtracting 423 from 452 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 295 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 295 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18696.0
If we subtract 282 from 295, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
47 goes into 130 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18696.2
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.

On to step 8:
47 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18696.27
Deduct 329 from 360 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
310 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18696.276
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18696.2765
If we subtract 235 from 280, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 450 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18696.27659
Deduct 423 from 450 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 270 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18696.276595
Subtract 235 from 270 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
47 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18696.2765957
If we subtract 329 from 350, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
47 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18696.27659574
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 188 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 18696.27659574 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
