We're dividing 47101641 by 872 
We want to divide 47101641 by 872.

Let's proceed to step 1:
872 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 872

Advancing to step 2:
47 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 471 / 872

Advancing to step 3:
872 goes into 471 0 times with a remainder of 471.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 471, we end up with 471.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 471, then repeat: 4710 / 872

Step 4:
When dividing 4710 by 872, we get 5 with a remainder of 350.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 4360 from 4710 and we're left with 350.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 350 and continue: 3501 / 872

Let's proceed to step 5:
872 goes into 3501 4 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 3488 away from 3501, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 136 / 872

Let's proceed to step 6:
136 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 136.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 540.0
Subtracting 0 from 136 leaves us with 136.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 136, then carry on: 1364 / 872

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1364 by 872, we get 1 and a remainder of 492.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5401.0
If we subtract 872 from 1364, we get 492.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 492, then repeat: 4921 / 872

Step 8:
When dividing 4921 by 872, we get 5 with a remainder of 561.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54015.0
If we subtract 4360 from 4921, we get 561.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5610, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 5610 by 872, we get 6 with a remainder of 378.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 54015.6
If we subtract 5232 from 5610, we get 378.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3780, and continue the process.

Step 10:
872 goes into 3780 4 times with a remainder of 292.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54015.64
Subtract 3488 from 3780 to get 292.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 2920 by 872, we get 3 and a remainder of 304.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 54015.643
Deduct 2616 from 2920 and we're left with 304.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3040, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
872 goes into 3040 3 times with a remainder of 424.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54015.6433
Subtracting 2616 from 3040 leaves us with 424.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 54015.6433 with a remaining 0.00424.
