We look at the division of 973831 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 973831 can be divided by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 46

Step 2:
97 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 92 from 97, we get 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
53 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 46 from 53.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 46

On to step 4:
46 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 211.0
Deduct 46 from 78 and we're left with 32.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 323 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 323 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2117.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 322 from 323.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 11 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21170.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
110 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21170.2
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21170.23
Subtracting 138 from 180 leaves us 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 9:
When dividing 420 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21170.239
Deduct 414 from 420 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21170.2391
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21170.23913
If we subtract 138 from 140, we 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21170.23913
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21170.2391304
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 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:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21170.23913043
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

The final result is 21170.23913043 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
