Let's divide 697231 by 47
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 697231.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 47

On to step 2:
If we divide 69 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 69 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 227 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 227 4 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 188 from 227 leaves us with 39.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 392 / 47

On to step 4:
If we divide 392 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 148.0
If we take 376 away from 392, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 163 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 163 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1483.0
If we subtract 141 from 163, we get 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 221 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14834.0
If we take 188 away from 221, we end up with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14834.7
Subtracting 329 from 330 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
47 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14834.7
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14834.702
If we take 94 away from 100, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14834.7021
If we take 47 away from 60, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 130 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 14834.70212
If we subtract 94 from 130, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
47 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14834.702127
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 329 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
47 goes into 310 6 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14834.7021276
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 282 from 310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14834.70212765
Subtract 235 from 280 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Our division results in 14834.70212765 with a remaining 4.5e-08.
