We look at the division of 861989 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 861989 by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
47 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 86 / 47

On to step 2:
47 goes into 86 1 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 47 from 86.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 391 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
391 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 376 from 391 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 47

On to step 4:
When dividing 159 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 183.0
If we take 141 away from 159, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 47

On to step 5:
188 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1834.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 188 from 188.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 47

On to step 6:
If we divide 9 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18340.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18340.1
Deduct 47 from 90 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 goes into 430 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18340.19
Subtract 423 from 430 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18340.191
If we take 47 away from 70, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 230 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18340.1914
Subtract 188 from 230 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18340.19148
Deduct 376 from 420 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
440 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18340.191489
Subtracting 423 from 440 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18340.1914893
If we subtract 141 from 170, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 290 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18340.19148936
Subtract 282 from 290 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18340.19148936 and a remainder of 8e-09.
