838538 ÷ 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 838538.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 83 / 46

Step 2:
If we divide 83 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 83 to get 37.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 378 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 378 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 368 from 378.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 105 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 105 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 182.0
Deduct 92 from 105 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 133 / 46

Step 5:
When dividing 133 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 41.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1822.0
Subtract 92 from 133 to get 41.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 418 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 418 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18229.0
Subtracting 414 from 418 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18229.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18229.08
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18229.086
Subtracting 276 from 320 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18229.0869
If we subtract 414 from 440, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18229.08695
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18229.086956
Subtracting 276 from 300 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18229.0869565
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 230 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18229.08695652
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 18229.08695652 with a remainder of 8e-09.
