We look at the division of 996725 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 996725 by 47.

Step 1:
The number 47 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
47 can be fit into 99 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 94 from 99 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 47

Moving on 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.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 97 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 94 from 97.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 47

On to step 5:
32 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 32.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2120.0
Subtract 0 from 32 to get 32.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 325 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 325 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 43.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21206.0
Deduct 282 from 325 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 430 by 47, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21206.9
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.

On to step 8:
47 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21206.91
If we subtract 47 from 70, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
47 goes into 230 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21206.914
Subtracting 188 from 230 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 420 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21206.9148
If we subtract 376 from 420, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
47 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21206.91489
Subtract 423 from 440 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
47 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21206.914893
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 141 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 290 by 47, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21206.9148936
Subtracting 282 from 290 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
47 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21206.91489361
Subtract 47 from 80 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

The final result is 21206.91489361 with a remainder of 3.3e-08.
