We're dividing 42180973 by 947 
We want to divide 42180973 by 947.

On to step 1:
The number 947 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 947

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 947, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 421 / 947

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 421 by 947, we get 0 and a remainder of 421.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 421 and we're left with 421.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 421 and continue: 4218 / 947

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 947 fits into 4218 4 times, leaving a remainder of 430.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 3788 from 4218 leaves us with 430.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 430, then repeat: 4300 / 947

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 4300 by 947, we get 4 and a remainder of 512.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtracting 3788 from 4300 leaves us with 512.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 512 and repeat the process: 5129 / 947

Step 6:
When dividing 5129 by 947, we get 5 with a remainder of 394.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 445.0
If we subtract 4735 from 5129, we get 394.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 394, then repeat: 3947 / 947

Let's proceed to step 7:
947 goes into 3947 4 times with a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4454.0
Subtract 3788 from 3947 to get 159.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 159 and continue: 1593 / 947

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1593 by 947, we get 1 and a remainder of 646.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44541.0
Subtract 947 from 1593 to get 646.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 6460 by 947, we get 6 and a remainder of 778.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44541.6
The remainder is 778 after subtracting 5682 from 6460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7780, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 7780 by 947, we get 8 and a remainder of 204.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44541.68
If we subtract 7576 from 7780, we get 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 947 fits into 2040 2 times, leaving a remainder of 146.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44541.682
If we take 1894 away from 2040, we end up with 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 1460 by 947, we get 1 and a remainder of 513.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 44541.6821
If we take 947 away from 1460, we end up with 513.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5130, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 5130 by 947, we get 5 and a remainder of 395.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 44541.68215
The remainder is 395 after subtracting 4735 from 5130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
947 goes into 3950 4 times with a remainder of 162.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44541.682154
The remainder is 162 after subtracting 3788 from 3950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
947 goes into 1620 1 times with a remainder of 673.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44541.6821541
Subtracting 947 from 1620 leaves us with 673.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 947 fits into 6730 7 times, leaving a remainder of 101.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44541.68215417
The remainder is 101 after subtracting 6629 from 6730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Our division results in 44541.68215417 with a remaining 1.01e-07.
