We're dividing 542250 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 542250 can be divided by 46.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 54 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 82 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
82 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 46 from 82, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 362 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 362 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 40.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 322 from 362.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 405 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 405 8 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1178.0
Deduct 368 from 405 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 370 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 370 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11788.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 368 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11788.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11788.04
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11788.043
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11788.0434
Deduct 184 from 220 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11788.04347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11788.043478
If we subtract 368 from 380, we get 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 13:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11788.0434782
If we take 92 away from 120, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11788.04347826
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.

Our division results in 11788.04347826 with a remaining 4e-09.
