We look at the division of 47878046 by 417 
We want to divide 47878046 by 417.

Let's proceed to step 1:
417 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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 / 417

Step 2:
The number 417 fits into 47 0 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 478 / 417

Step 3:
When dividing 478 by 417, we get 1 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 417 from 478 to get 61.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 617 / 417

Moving on to step 4:
617 divided by 417 is 1 with a remainder of 200.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 417 away from 617, we end up with 200.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 200, then repeat: 2008 / 417

Going ahead to step 5:
2008 divided by 417 is 4 with a remainder of 340.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 114.0
Deduct 1668 from 2008 and we're left with 340.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 340 and continue: 3400 / 417

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 417 fits into 3400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1148.0
Subtracting 3336 from 3400 leaves us with 64.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 644 / 417

On to step 7:
417 can be fit into 644 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 227.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11481.0
The remainder is 227 after subtracting 417 from 644.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 227, then repeat: 2276 / 417

Let's proceed to step 8:
417 goes into 2276 5 times with a remainder of 191.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114815.0
Subtracting 2085 from 2276 leaves us with 191.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1910, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
417 goes into 1910 4 times with a remainder of 242.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 114815.4
If we subtract 1668 from 1910, we get 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 2420 by 417, we get 5 with a remainder of 335.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 114815.45
If we take 2085 away from 2420, we end up with 335.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3350, and continue the process.

Step 11:
417 goes into 3350 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114815.458
If we take 3336 away from 3350, we end up with 14.
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 12:
If we divide 140 by 417, we get 0 and a remainder of 140.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 114815.458
If we subtract 0 from 140, we get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
417 goes into 1400 3 times with a remainder of 149.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 114815.45803
Deduct 1251 from 1400 and we're left with 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 417 fits into 1490 3 times, leaving a remainder of 239.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 114815.458033
Subtract 1251 from 1490 to get 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2390, and continue the process.

The final result is 114815.458033 with a remainder of 2.39e-05.
