We look at the division of 472847 by 56 
We want to divide 472847 by 56.

On to step 1:
The number 56 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 56

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 472 / 56

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 56 fits into 472 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 448 from 472 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 56

On to step 4:
When dividing 248 by 56, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we take 224 away from 248, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
244 divided by 56 is 4 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 844.0
Deduct 224 from 244 and we're left with 20.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 207 / 56

On to step 6:
If we divide 207 by 56, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8443.0
Deduct 168 from 207 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
56 can be fit into 390 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8443.6
Deduct 336 from 390 and we're left with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 56 fits into 540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8443.69
If we take 504 away from 540, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 56 fits into 360 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8443.696
Subtracting 336 from 360 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
56 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8443.6964
If we subtract 224 from 240, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
56 can be fit into 160 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8443.69642
If we take 112 away from 160, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 56 fits into 480 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8443.696428
If we take 448 away from 480, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
320 divided by 56 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8443.6964285
If we take 280 away from 320, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 56, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8443.69642857
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up 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.

The final result is 8443.69642857 with a remainder of 8e-09.
