We divide 852159 by 47
We want to divide 852159 by 47.

Step 1:
47 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 47

Step 2:
When dividing 85 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 47 from 85.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 382 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 382 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 376 from 382.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 47

Step 4:
If we divide 61 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtracting 47 from 61 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 145 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 145 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1813.0
If we take 141 away from 145, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
49 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18131.0
Subtract 47 from 49 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 20 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18131.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18131.04
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 188 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
47 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18131.042
If we take 94 away from 120, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
47 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18131.0425
Deduct 235 from 260 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
47 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18131.04255
If we take 235 away from 250, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18131.04255, with a leftover of 1.5e-05.
