Let's divide 872520 by 46
Our goal is to divide 872520 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 46

Step 2:
The number 46 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 46 from 87.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 412 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 412 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 368 from 412 leaves us with 44.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 445 / 46

On to step 4:
46 goes into 445 9 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 189.0
Deduct 414 from 445 and we're left with 31.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 312 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 312 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1896.0
If we take 276 away from 312, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 360 / 46

Step 6:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18967.0
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us with 38.
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 7:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18967.8
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 368 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18967.82
Subtract 92 from 120 to get 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 9:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18967.826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18967.826
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18967.82608
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18967.826086
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.

On to step 13:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18967.8260869
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18967.82608695
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18967.82608695 with a balance of 3e-08.
