Let's divide 687664 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 687664 can be divided by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
6 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 68 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 47 from 68.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
47 can be fit into 217 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 188 from 217 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 296 / 47

Step 4:
47 goes into 296 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 282 from 296.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 146 / 47

Step 5:
When dividing 146 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1463.0
If we subtract 141 from 146, we get 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 47

On to step 6:
47 goes into 54 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14631.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 47 from 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14631.1
Subtract 47 from 70 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 230 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14631.14
Deduct 188 from 230 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
47 can be fit into 420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14631.148
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 376 from 420.
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 10:
The number 47 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14631.1489
If we take 423 away from 440, we end up 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 11:
If we divide 170 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 14631.14893
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 290 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14631.148936
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.

Moving on to step 13:
80 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 14631.1489361
Subtract 47 from 80 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 14:
330 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14631.14893617
Subtracting 329 from 330 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14631.14893617 and a remainder of 1e-09.
