We divide 638716 by 47
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 638716.

On to step 1:
47 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 47

Step 2:
The number 47 fits into 63 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 63 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
47 goes into 168 3 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 141 from 168, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 277 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 goes into 277 5 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 135.0
Subtract 235 from 277 to get 42.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 421 / 47

On to step 5:
47 can be fit into 421 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1358.0
If we subtract 376 from 421, we get 45.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 456 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 456 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13589.0
Subtract 423 from 456 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
330 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13589.7
If we subtract 329 from 330, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
10 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13589.7
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
47 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13589.702
If we take 94 away from 100, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13589.7021
Deduct 47 from 60 and we're left 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 11:
If we divide 130 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 13589.70212
Subtracting 94 from 130 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
47 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13589.702127
If we take 329 away from 360, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
310 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 13589.7021276
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 282 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
280 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13589.70212765
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 235 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13589.70212765 with a remaining 4.5e-08.
