Let's divide 486504 by 47
We want to figure out the number of times 486504 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 47

Advancing to step 2:
The number 47 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 47 from 48 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 47

On to step 3:
When dividing 16 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 47

Moving on to step 4:
47 goes into 165 3 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 103.0
Subtract 141 from 165 to get 24.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 240 / 47

Moving on to step 5:
The number 47 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1035.0
Subtract 235 from 240 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 47

On to step 6:
The number 47 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10351.0
If we subtract 47 from 54, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10351.1
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.

Moving on to step 8:
47 can be fit into 230 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10351.14
Deduct 188 from 230 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
47 can be fit into 420 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10351.148
Subtracting 376 from 420 leaves us with 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:
When dividing 440 by 47, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10351.1489
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.

Advancing to step 11:
170 divided by 47 is 3 with a remainder of 29.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10351.14893
Subtract 141 from 170 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 47 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10351.148936
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:
If we divide 80 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10351.1489361
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.

Moving on to step 14:
330 divided by 47 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10351.14893617
If we subtract 329 from 330, we 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.

Our division results in 10351.14893617 with a remaining 1e-09.
