Let's divide 491912 by 46
Our goal is to divide 491912 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 49 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 46

Step 3:
If we divide 31 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 319 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 319 6 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 276 from 319.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 431 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 431 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1069.0
If we subtract 414 from 431, we get 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 172 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10693.0
Subtract 138 from 172 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10693.7
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 322 from 340.
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 8:
If we divide 180 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10693.73
Subtract 138 from 180 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 420 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10693.739
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10693.7391
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.

Advancing to step 11:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10693.73913
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10693.73913
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10693.7391304
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10693.73913043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10693.73913043 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
