Let's divide 117962 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 117962 can be divided by 47.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
47 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 117 / 47

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 117 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 94 from 117, we get 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 47

Step 4:
47 can be fit into 239 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 235 from 239, we get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
47 can be fit into 46 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 250.0
Subtract 0 from 46 to get 46.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 462 / 47

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 462 9 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2509.0
If we subtract 423 from 462, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
47 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2509.8
If we subtract 376 from 390, 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.

On to step 8:
47 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2509.82
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 460 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2509.829
If we take 423 away from 460, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2509.8297
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
47 goes into 410 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2509.82978
Deduct 376 from 410 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 340 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2509.829787
Subtracting 329 from 340 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
47 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2509.8297872
If we take 94 away from 110, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
47 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2509.82978723
Deduct 141 from 160 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2509.82978723 with a remaining 1.9e-08.
