We look at the division of 731689 by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 731689.

Advancing to step 1:
47 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 47

Step 2:
When dividing 73 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 73 and we're left with 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 goes into 261 5 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 235 from 261.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 266 / 47

On to step 4:
If we divide 266 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 31.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtract 235 from 266 to get 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
47 goes into 318 6 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1556.0
Subtract 282 from 318 to get 36.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 369 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
369 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15567.0
If we subtract 329 from 369, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15567.8
If we take 376 away from 400, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15567.85
Deduct 235 from 240 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15567.851
If we take 47 away from 50, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 15567.851
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15567.85106
Subtract 282 from 300 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
180 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15567.851063
If we take 141 away from 180, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
47 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15567.8510638
If we take 376 away from 390, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15567.85106382
If we take 94 away from 140, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15567.85106382 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
