47999856 ÷ 873 
Let's see how many times 873 fits into 47999856.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 873, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 873

Step 2:
47 divided by 873 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 479 / 873

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 479 by 873, we get 0 and a remainder of 479.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 479 leaves us with 479.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 479 and continue: 4799 / 873

Let's proceed to step 4:
4799 divided by 873 is 5 with a remainder of 434.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 434 after subtracting 4365 from 4799.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 434, then repeat: 4349 / 873

On to step 5:
The number 873 fits into 4349 4 times, leaving a remainder of 857.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 3492 from 4349 and we're left with 857.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 857 and continue: 8578 / 873

On to step 6:
873 can be fit into 8578 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 721.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 549.0
If we take 7857 away from 8578, we end up with 721.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 721 and continue with: 7215 / 873

On to step 7:
873 can be fit into 7215 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 231.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5498.0
The remainder is 231 after subtracting 6984 from 7215.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 231, then carry on: 2316 / 873

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 2316 by 873, we get 2 and a remainder of 570.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 54982.0
Subtract 1746 from 2316 to get 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 5700 by 873, we get 6 with a remainder of 462.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 54982.6
The remainder is 462 after subtracting 5238 from 5700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
873 goes into 4620 5 times with a remainder of 255.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54982.65
Deduct 4365 from 4620 and we're left with 255.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 2550 by 873, we get 2 with a remainder of 804.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54982.652
Subtracting 1746 from 2550 leaves us with 804.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8040, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
873 can be fit into 8040 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 183.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54982.6529
If we subtract 7857 from 8040, we get 183.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1830, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 873 fits into 1830 2 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54982.65292
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 1746 from 1830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
873 goes into 840 0 times with a remainder of 840.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54982.65292
Deduct 0 from 840 and we're left with 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8400, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
873 goes into 8400 9 times with a remainder of 543.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54982.6529209
If we take 7857 away from 8400, we end up with 543.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
5430 divided by 873 is 6 with a remainder of 192.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54982.65292096
Subtract 5238 from 5430 to get 192.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Our division results in 54982.65292096 with a remaining 1.92e-07.
