Let's divide 723995 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 723995 can be divided by 47.

Step 1:
47 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 47

Let's proceed to step 2:
72 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 72 and we're left with 25.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 253 / 47

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 47 fits into 253 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 235 from 253.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 189 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154.0
If we subtract 188 from 189, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 47

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1540.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 195 / 47

Step 6:
The number 47 fits into 195 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15404.0
If we take 188 away from 195, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
70 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15404.1
Deduct 47 from 70 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
230 divided by 47 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15404.14
If we take 188 away from 230, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15404.148
Subtract 376 from 420 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
440 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 15404.1489
Deduct 423 from 440 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 47 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15404.14893
Deduct 141 from 170 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 290 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15404.148936
Deduct 282 from 290 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
The number 47 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15404.1489361
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 47 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 330 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15404.14893617
Subtract 329 from 330 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15404.14893617 with a balance of 1e-09.
