We look at the division of 1646979 by 47 
We're looking to find how many times 47 goes into 1646979.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 47 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 47

Step 2:
47 can be fit into 16 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 164 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
47 goes into 164 3 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 141 away from 164, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 236 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
47 goes into 236 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 235 from 236 to get 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
19 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 350.0
Deduct 0 from 19 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 47

On to step 6:
When dividing 197 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3504.0
Deduct 188 from 197 and we're left with 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 47

On to step 7:
If we divide 99 by 47, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35042.0
Deduct 94 from 99 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
50 divided by 47 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 35042.1
Subtracting 47 from 50 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
30 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35042.1
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 10:
300 divided by 47 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35042.106
If we subtract 282 from 300, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35042.1063
Subtract 141 from 180 to get 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 12:
If we divide 390 by 47, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35042.10638
If we take 376 away from 390, we end up 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.

Step 13:
The number 47 fits into 140 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35042.106382
If we take 94 away from 140, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 14:
47 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35042.1063829
Subtracting 423 from 460 leaves us 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.

Step 15:
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: 35042.10638297
Subtracting 329 from 370 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 35042.10638297 and a remainder of 4.1e-08.
