47870 ÷ 54 
Our goal is to divide 47870 by 54.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 54 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 54

Moving on to step 2:
54 goes into 47 0 times with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 47 and we're left with 47.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 478 / 54

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 478 by 54, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 432 from 478 to get 46.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 467 / 54

Step 4:
When dividing 467 by 54, we get 8 with a remainder of 35.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 432 from 467 leaves us with 35.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 350 / 54

On to step 5:
350 divided by 54 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 886.0
Subtracting 324 from 350 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
260 divided by 54 is 4 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 886.4
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 216 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 7:
54 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 886.48
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 54, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 886.481
Subtract 54 from 80 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
54 can be fit into 260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 886.4814
Subtract 216 from 260 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
54 goes into 440 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 886.48148
If we subtract 432 from 440, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 54 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 886.481481
Subtract 54 from 80 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
54 can be fit into 260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 886.4814814
If we take 216 away from 260, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 54 fits into 440 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 886.48148148
Subtracting 432 from 440 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 886.48148148 with a remaining 8e-09.
