We look at the division of 782971 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 782971 by 47.

Step 1:
7 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
47 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 78 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 312 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 312 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 282 from 312 to get 30.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 309 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 goes into 309 6 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 282 from 309.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 277 / 47

On to step 5:
When dividing 277 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1665.0
Subtract 235 from 277 to get 42.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 421 / 47

Step 6:
421 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16658.0
If we subtract 376 from 421, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 450 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16658.9
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 270 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16658.95
If we subtract 235 from 270, we 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 9:
If we divide 350 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16658.957
If we take 329 away from 350, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 210 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16658.9574
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
47 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 16658.95744
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 188 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 16658.95744 with a balance of 3.2e-05.
