We're dividing 878044 by 47 
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 878044.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 47

On to step 2:
47 can be fit into 87 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 47 from 87 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 408 / 47

On to step 3:
47 can be fit into 408 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 376 from 408 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 320 / 47

On to step 4:
The number 47 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 186.0
Subtract 282 from 320 to get 38.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 384 / 47

On to step 5:
384 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1868.0
If we take 376 away from 384, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 47

On to step 6:
47 goes into 84 1 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18681.0
If we take 47 away from 84, 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.

On to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 370 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18681.7
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.

Step 8:
The number 47 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18681.78
If we take 376 away from 410, we end up 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 9:
47 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18681.787
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.

Advancing to step 10:
110 divided by 47 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18681.7872
Deduct 94 from 110 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
47 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18681.78723
If we take 141 away from 160, we end up 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 190 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18681.787234
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.

Step 13:
47 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18681.787234
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.

On to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18681.78723404
If we take 188 away from 200, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18681.78723404 and a remainder of 1.2e-08.
