We look at the division of 972442 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 972442 by 47.

Let's proceed to step 1:
47 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
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

On to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 97 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 94 from 97 to get 3.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 32 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 32.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 32, we end up with 32.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 324 / 47

Step 4:
When dividing 324 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 206.0
Deduct 282 from 324 and we're left with 42.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 424 / 47

On to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 424 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2069.0
Subtract 423 from 424 to get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 12 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20690.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
120 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20690.2
Subtracting 94 from 120 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 260 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20690.25
If we subtract 235 from 260, we 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.

On to step 9:
47 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20690.255
Subtract 235 from 250 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.

The final result is 20690.255 with a remainder of 0.0015.
