Let's divide 407321 by 47
We want to divide 407321 by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
47 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 407 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
47 goes into 407 8 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 376 from 407 to get 31.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 313 / 47

On to step 4:
If we divide 313 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 86.0
If we take 282 away from 313, we end up with 31.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 312 / 47

Step 5:
47 can be fit into 312 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 866.0
If we subtract 282 from 312, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 301 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 301 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 19.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8666.0
Deduct 282 from 301 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.

On to step 7:
190 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8666.4
If we subtract 188 from 190, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
20 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8666.4
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
47 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8666.404
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 188 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8666.4042
Subtracting 94 from 120 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.

Advancing to step 11:
47 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8666.40425
Deduct 235 from 260 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
250 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8666.404255
Deduct 235 from 250 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8666.404255 with a balance of 1.5e-06.
