997976 divided by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 997976.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 47

Step 2:
The number 47 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 94 from 99 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 57 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 47 from 57 and we're left with 10.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
47 goes into 109 2 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
Subtracting 94 from 109 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 157 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2123.0
Deduct 141 from 157 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 166 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
47 can be fit into 166 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21233.0
Subtract 141 from 166 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
47 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21233.5
Subtracting 235 from 250 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
150 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21233.53
If we take 141 away from 150, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
90 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21233.531
Deduct 47 from 90 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 430 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21233.5319
Subtracting 423 from 430 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21233.53191
Subtracting 47 from 70 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 230 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21233.531914
If we take 188 away from 230, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21233.5319148
If we take 376 away from 420, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 14:
47 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21233.53191489
Subtracting 423 from 440 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21233.53191489 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
