We divide 587968 by 47
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 587968.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
58 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 47 from 58, we get 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 47

Step 3:
When dividing 117 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 94 away from 117, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 239 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 can be fit into 239 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we take 235 away from 239, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 47

Let's proceed to step 5:
47 goes into 46 0 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1250.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 468 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 468 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12509.0
If we subtract 423 from 468, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 450 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12509.9
If we take 423 away from 450, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
270 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12509.95
Subtracting 235 from 270 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 9:
350 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12509.957
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 329 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 47 fits into 210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12509.9574
If we take 188 away from 210, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12509.95744
If we subtract 188 from 220, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12509.95744 with a remaining 3.2e-05.
