We're dividing 47948300 by 872 
Our goal is to divide 47948300 by 872.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 872

Advancing to step 2:
872 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 47, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 872

Going ahead to step 3:
872 can be fit into 479 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 479.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 479, we end up with 479.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 479, then carry on: 4794 / 872

On to step 4:
When dividing 4794 by 872, we get 5 with a remainder of 434.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 4360 from 4794 leaves us with 434.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 434, then repeat: 4348 / 872

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 4348 by 872, we get 4 and a remainder of 860.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 3488 from 4348, we get 860.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 860 and repeat the process: 8603 / 872

Let's proceed to step 6:
872 goes into 8603 9 times with a remainder of 755.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 549.0
The remainder is 755 after subtracting 7848 from 8603.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 755 and repeat the process: 7550 / 872

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 7550 by 872, we get 8 and a remainder of 574.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5498.0
Deduct 6976 from 7550 and we're left with 574.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 574 and continue: 5740 / 872

Advancing to step 8:
5740 divided by 872 is 6 with a remainder of 508.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 54986.0
The remainder is 508 after subtracting 5232 from 5740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
872 can be fit into 5080 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 720.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54986.5
Subtracting 4360 from 5080 leaves us with 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 7200 by 872, we get 8 with a remainder of 224.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54986.58
Subtract 6976 from 7200 to get 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
872 goes into 2240 2 times with a remainder of 496.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54986.582
Subtracting 1744 from 2240 leaves us with 496.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 872 fits into 4960 5 times, leaving a remainder of 600.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54986.5825
Deduct 4360 from 4960 and we're left with 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6000, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
6000 divided by 872 is 6 with a remainder of 768.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54986.58256
If we take 5232 away from 6000, we end up with 768.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
7680 divided by 872 is 8 with a remainder of 704.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54986.582568
Subtract 6976 from 7680 to get 704.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7040, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 872 fits into 7040 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54986.5825688
If we take 6976 away from 7040, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 54986.5825688 with a remainder of 6.4e-07.
