We divide 988768 by 47
Our goal is to divide 988768 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 94 away from 98, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 47 away from 48, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 47

Step 4:
If we divide 17 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 210.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 176 / 47

Step 5:
If we divide 176 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2103.0
If we take 141 away from 176, we end up with 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 358 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21037.0
Subtract 329 from 358 to 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 7:
47 can be fit into 290 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21037.6
Subtracting 282 from 290 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21037.61
Subtracting 47 from 80 leaves us with 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 9:
When dividing 330 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21037.617
If we take 329 away from 330, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
47 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21037.617
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
47 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21037.61702
If we subtract 94 from 100, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 60 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21037.617021
Subtracting 47 from 60 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
130 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21037.6170212
If we take 94 away from 130, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21037.61702127
Deduct 329 from 360 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21037.61702127, and the remainder is 3.1e-08.
