588962 ÷ 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 588962.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
47 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 58 to get 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
47 goes into 118 2 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 94 from 118 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
249 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 235 from 249.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 146 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1253.0
If we subtract 141 from 146, we get 5.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 52 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 goes into 52 1 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12531.0
If we subtract 47 from 52, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12531.1
Subtract 47 from 50 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
30 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12531.1
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
47 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12531.106
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 282 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12531.1063
Deduct 141 from 180 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
390 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12531.10638
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 376 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
140 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12531.106382
Subtracting 94 from 140 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12531.1063829
Deduct 423 from 460 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 370 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12531.10638297
If we take 329 away from 370, we end up 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.

Our division results in 12531.10638297 with a remaining 4.1e-08.
