We divide 46991438 by 259
We're looking to find how many times 259 goes into 46991438.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 259, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 259

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 259, we get 0 and a remainder of 46.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 46 leaves us with 46.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 469 / 259

On to step 3:
259 can be fit into 469 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 210.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 259 from 469, we get 210.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 210 and repeat the process: 2109 / 259

On to step 4:
The number 259 fits into 2109 8 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 2072 from 2109.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 371 / 259

On to step 5:
371 divided by 259 is 1 with a remainder of 112.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we take 259 away from 371, we end up with 112.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 112, then repeat: 1124 / 259

On to step 6:
259 goes into 1124 4 times with a remainder of 88.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1814.0
If we take 1036 away from 1124, we end up with 88.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 88, then carry on: 883 / 259

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 883 by 259, we get 3 with a remainder of 106.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18143.0
Subtracting 777 from 883 leaves us with 106.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 106 and continue with: 1068 / 259

Advancing to step 8:
259 can be fit into 1068 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181434.0
Deduct 1036 from 1068 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
320 divided by 259 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 181434.1
Subtracting 259 from 320 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
610 divided by 259 is 2 with a remainder of 92.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181434.12
If we take 518 away from 610, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 259 fits into 920 3 times, leaving a remainder of 143.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 181434.123
The remainder is 143 after subtracting 777 from 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 1430 by 259, we get 5 with a remainder of 135.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181434.1235
If we subtract 1295 from 1430, we get 135.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
259 goes into 1350 5 times with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 181434.12355
If we take 1295 away from 1350, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Our division results in 181434.12355 with a remaining 5.5e-05.
