We divide 996187 by 47
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 996187.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 47

Step 2:
99 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 94 from 99 to get 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
56 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 47 from 56 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 91 / 47

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 91 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Subtract 47 from 91 to get 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 47

Step 5:
47 can be fit into 448 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2119.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 423 from 448.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 257 / 47

Step 6:
257 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21195.0
Subtracting 235 from 257 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.

Moving on to step 7:
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: 21195.4
If we subtract 188 from 220, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21195.46
Subtracting 282 from 320 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
47 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21195.468
If we subtract 376 from 380, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21195.468
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
400 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21195.46808
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.

On to step 12:
240 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21195.468085
Deduct 235 from 240 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21195.4680851
Deduct 47 from 50 and we're left 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 14:
47 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21195.4680851
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 21195.4680851 with a remaining 3e-08.
