We're dividing 468879 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 468879.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 46 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 46

Step 3:
The number 46 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 46

Step 4:
When dividing 88 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 101.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 46 from 88.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 427 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 427 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1019.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 414 from 427.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 139 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 goes into 139 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10193.0
If we take 138 away from 139, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10193.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10193.02
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
46 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10193.021
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10193.0217
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
46 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10193.02173
Deduct 138 from 180 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 12:
The number 46 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10193.021739
If we subtract 414 from 420, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10193.0217391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 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 14:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10193.02173913
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 10193.02173913, and the remainder is 2e-09.
