871458 ÷ 47 
We want to divide 871458 by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
47 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 40.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 87 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 401 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
401 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 376 from 401 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 47

Step 4:
47 can be fit into 254 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 185.0
Subtracting 235 from 254 leaves us with 19.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 195 / 47

On to step 5:
If we divide 195 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1854.0
If we subtract 188 from 195, we get 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 47

On to step 6:
47 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18541.0
Subtract 47 from 78 to get 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 7:
47 goes into 310 6 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18541.6
If we subtract 282 from 310, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 18541.65
If we subtract 235 from 280, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 450 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18541.659
Subtract 423 from 450 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
47 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18541.6595
Subtracting 235 from 270 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
47 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18541.65957
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 329 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18541.659574
Subtracting 188 from 210 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
47 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18541.6595744
If we take 188 away from 220, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18541.6595744 with a balance of 3.2e-07.
