We're dividing 879703 by 47 
Our goal is to divide 879703 by 47.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 47

Step 2:
If we divide 87 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 47 from 87 leaves us with 40.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 409 / 47

On to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 409 8 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 376 away from 409, we end up with 33.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 337 / 47

Step 4:
47 can be fit into 337 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtracting 329 from 337 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 80 / 47

On to step 5:
If we divide 80 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1871.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 47 from 80.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 333 / 47

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 333 by 47, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18717.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 329 from 333.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
47 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18717.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
400 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18717.08
If we take 376 away from 400, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
240 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18717.085
Deduct 235 from 240 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 50 by 47, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18717.0851
Subtract 47 from 50 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 30 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18717.0851
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 47 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18717.085106
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 282 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18717.0851063
Subtracting 141 from 180 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
47 can be fit into 390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18717.08510638
Deduct 376 from 390 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18717.08510638 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
