We look at the division of 638697 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 638697 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 63 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 63 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 47 away from 63, we end up with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 can be fit into 168 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Subtracting 141 from 168 leaves us with 27.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 276 / 47

Step 4:
47 can be fit into 276 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 135.0
Deduct 235 from 276 and we're left with 41.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 419 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 419 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 43.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1358.0
Subtract 376 from 419 to get 43.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 437 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 437 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13589.0
If we subtract 423 from 437, we get 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 7:
When dividing 140 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13589.2
Deduct 94 from 140 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 460 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13589.29
Subtracting 423 from 460 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 370 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13589.297
Subtracting 329 from 370 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
410 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13589.2978
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 376 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 13589.29787
Deduct 329 from 340 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
47 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13589.297872
Deduct 94 from 110 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
160 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13589.2978723
If we subtract 141 from 160, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 190 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13589.29787234
Subtracting 188 from 190 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 13589.29787234 with a remainder of 2e-09.
