We divide 282661 by 46
Our goal is to divide 282661 by 46.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
28 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 282 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 282 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 276 from 282.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 66 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 66 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 46 from 66 to get 20.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 206 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 206 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 614.0
Subtract 184 from 206 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 221 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 can be fit into 221 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6144.0
Subtracting 184 from 221 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
370 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6144.8
Deduct 368 from 370 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
20 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6144.8
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6144.804
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6144.8043
If we subtract 138 from 160, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6144.80434
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6144.804347
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 13:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6144.8043478
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6144.80434782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6144.80434782 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
