218696 divided by 46 
We want to divide 218696 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 46

Step 2:
If we divide 21 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 46

Step 3:
If we divide 218 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 184 from 218 and we're left with 34.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 346 / 46

On to step 4:
346 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtracting 322 from 346 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 46

On to step 5:
46 can be fit into 249 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 475.0
Subtract 230 from 249 to get 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 196 / 46

Step 6:
If we divide 196 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4754.0
Deduct 184 from 196 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4754.2
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4754.26
Subtracting 276 from 280 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4754.26
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4754.2608
Subtract 368 from 400 to get 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 11:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4754.26086
Subtract 276 from 320 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 440 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4754.260869
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4754.2608695
If we take 230 away from 260, 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4754.26086956
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4754.26086956 and a remainder of 2.4e-08.
