We divide 989541 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 989541 can be divided by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 94 from 98 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 49 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 47 from 49 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 210.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
47 goes into 254 5 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2105.0
If we subtract 235 from 254, we get 19.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 191 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 191 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21054.0
Deduct 188 from 191 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
30 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21054.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
47 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21054.06
If we take 282 away from 300, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 180 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21054.063
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
47 goes into 390 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21054.0638
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 376 from 390.
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 11:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21054.06382
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21054.063829
Subtracting 423 from 460 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
370 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21054.0638297
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 329 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
47 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21054.06382978
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 376 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21054.06382978 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
