We divide 170697 by 47
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 170697.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
17 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 170 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 141 from 170 to get 29.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 296 / 47

Step 4:
296 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 282 from 296.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
47 goes into 149 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 363.0
Subtract 141 from 149 to get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3631.0
If we subtract 47 from 87, we 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.

On to step 7:
400 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3631.8
If we subtract 376 from 400, we 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 8:
240 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3631.85
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 235 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3631.851
Subtract 47 from 50 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 30 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3631.851
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up 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.

Step 11:
300 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3631.85106
Deduct 282 from 300 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 47, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3631.851063
If we take 141 away from 180, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 390 by 47, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3631.8510638
Deduct 376 from 390 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3631.85106382
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 94 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3631.85106382 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
