We're dividing 598984 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 598984 by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
59 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 47 from 59 to get 12.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 128 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 goes into 128 2 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 94 from 128 leaves us with 34.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 349 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 349 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 20.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtracting 329 from 349 leaves us with 20.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 208 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
208 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1274.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 188 from 208.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 204 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12744.0
Subtracting 188 from 204 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12744.3
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.

Moving on to step 8:
47 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12744.34
Deduct 188 from 190 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12744.34
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 200 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12744.3404
Subtract 188 from 200 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12744.34042
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 94 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 47 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12744.340425
Subtract 235 from 260 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 250 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12744.3404255
Subtract 235 from 250 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 12744.3404255 with a remainder of 1.5e-07.
