46859 ÷ 74 
Our goal is to divide 46859 by 74.

Step 1:
4 divided by 74 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 468 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 468 by 74, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 444 from 468 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 245 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 goes into 245 3 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 222 away from 245, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 74

On to step 5:
239 divided by 74 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 633.0
Subtracting 222 from 239 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 170 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 633.2
If we subtract 148 from 170, 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 74, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 633.22
If we subtract 148 from 220, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 633.22 with a balance of 0.072.
