We divide 986246 by 46
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 986246.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 92 from 98 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 66 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 66 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 46 away from 66, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 202 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 214.0
Subtracting 184 from 202 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 184 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 184 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2144.0
Deduct 184 from 184 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 6 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21440.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21440.1
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21440.13
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21440.13
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21440.1304
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21440.13043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21440.130434
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 13:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21440.1304347
If we subtract 322 from 360, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21440.13043478
Subtract 368 from 380 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21440.13043478, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
