We're dividing 972962 by 47 
We want to divide 972962 by 47.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 47

Step 2:
When dividing 97 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 94 from 97 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 32 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 32.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 32, we end up with 32.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 329 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 329 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtract 329 from 329 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2070.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 47

Step 6:
47 goes into 62 1 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 20701.0
Subtract 47 from 62 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
47 goes into 150 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20701.3
Subtracting 141 from 150 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
47 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20701.31
If we subtract 47 from 90, we get 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 9:
If we divide 430 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20701.319
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.

Advancing to step 10:
47 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20701.3191
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 230 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20701.31914
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 188 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 47 fits into 420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20701.319148
Subtract 376 from 420 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 440 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20701.3191489
If we subtract 423 from 440, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 170 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20701.31914893
Deduct 141 from 170 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Our division results in 20701.31914893 with a remaining 2.9e-08.
