We're dividing 887495 by 47 
We want to divide 887495 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 47 from 88 leaves us with 41.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 417 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
417 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 376 from 417, we get 41.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 414 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 goes into 414 8 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 376 from 414.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 389 / 47

Step 5:
47 goes into 389 8 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1888.0
Subtract 376 from 389 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 135 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 135 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 41.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18882.0
If we take 94 away from 135, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
410 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18882.8
If we subtract 376 from 410, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
47 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18882.87
Deduct 329 from 340 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 110 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18882.872
Subtracting 94 from 110 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18882.8723
Deduct 141 from 160 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18882.87234
If we subtract 188 from 190, we 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.

On to step 12:
47 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18882.87234
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
200 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18882.8723404
Subtracting 188 from 200 leaves us with 12.
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 14:
47 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18882.87234042
Subtracting 94 from 120 leaves us 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.

The final result is 18882.87234042 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
