We're dividing 378231 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 378231 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
47 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 37 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
37 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 37 to get 37.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 378 / 47

Step 3:
47 can be fit into 378 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 376 from 378 to get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
223 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 35.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 804.0
Subtract 188 from 223 to get 35.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 351 / 47

Step 6:
47 can be fit into 351 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8047.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 329 from 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8047.4
If we subtract 188 from 220, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8047.46
Deduct 282 from 320 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 380 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8047.468
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 376 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
47 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8047.468
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 47 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8047.46808
Deduct 376 from 400 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 240 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8047.468085
If we subtract 235 from 240, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 13:
47 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8047.4680851
If we subtract 47 from 50, we get 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 14:
If we divide 30 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8047.4680851
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8047.4680851 with a remaining 3e-08.
