407870 ÷ 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 407870 can be divided by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 40 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 407 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 31.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 376 from 407, we get 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 47

Step 4:
When dividing 318 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we subtract 282 from 318, we get 36.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 367 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
47 can be fit into 367 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 867.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 329 from 367.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 380 / 47

Step 6:
If we divide 380 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8678.0
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.

Going ahead to step 7:
40 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8678.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
47 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8678.08
Subtract 376 from 400 to get 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 9:
240 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8678.085
If we take 235 away from 240, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8678.0851
Subtracting 47 from 50 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 11:
30 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8678.0851
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
300 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8678.085106
Deduct 282 from 300 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 8678.0851063
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 141 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 390 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8678.08510638
Subtracting 376 from 390 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8678.08510638 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
