Let's divide 637871 by 46
Our goal is to divide 637871 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 63 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 63, we get 17.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 177 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 can be fit into 177 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 138 from 177.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 46

On to step 4:
46 can be fit into 398 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138.0
If we take 368 away from 398, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 307 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
46 goes into 307 6 times with a remainder of 31.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1386.0
Subtract 276 from 307 to get 31.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 311 / 46

Step 6:
When dividing 311 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 35.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13866.0
If we subtract 276 from 311, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 can be fit into 350 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13866.7
If we take 322 away from 350, 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.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13866.76
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
46 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13866.76
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13866.7608
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13866.76086
Subtract 276 from 320 to get 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 12:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13866.760869
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 414 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13866.7608695
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up 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 14:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13866.76086956
If we subtract 276 from 300, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 13866.76086956, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
