Let's divide 882172 by 47
Our goal is to divide 882172 by 47.

On to step 1:
47 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 47 from 88, we get 41.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 412 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 412 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 376 away from 412, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 361 / 47

On to step 4:
47 goes into 361 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 187.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 329 from 361.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 327 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1876.0
Deduct 282 from 327 and we're left with 45.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 452 / 47

On to step 6:
452 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18769.0
If we take 423 away from 452, we end up with 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 7:
290 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18769.6
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 282 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18769.61
Subtract 47 from 80 to get 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 9:
If we divide 330 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18769.617
If we subtract 329 from 330, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 10 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18769.617
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 100 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18769.61702
Deduct 94 from 100 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18769.617021
Subtracting 47 from 60 leaves us with 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 13:
130 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18769.6170212
If we take 94 away from 130, we end up 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 14:
360 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 31.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18769.61702127
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.

The final outcome is 18769.61702127, with a leftover of 3.1e-08.
