We look at the division of 588148 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 588148 can be divided by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 58 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 goes into 128 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 92 away from 128, we end up with 36.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 361 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
361 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 322 from 361, we get 39.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 394 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
394 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 26.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1278.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 368 from 394.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 46

On to step 6:
46 can be fit into 268 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12785.0
If we take 230 away from 268, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12785.8
Deduct 368 from 380 and we're left with 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 8:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12785.82
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12785.826
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
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:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12785.826
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12785.82608
Deduct 368 from 400 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12785.826086
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 13:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12785.8260869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12785.82608695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 12785.82608695 with a remaining 3e-08.
