We divide 288039 by 46
Our goal is to divide 288039 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
28 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 46

Step 3:
When dividing 288 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 276 from 288 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtract 92 from 120 to get 28.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 283 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 283 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 626.0
Deduct 276 from 283 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6261.0
Deduct 46 from 79 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6261.7
Subtracting 322 from 330 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6261.71
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6261.717
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
46 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6261.7173
If we subtract 138 from 180, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6261.71739
If we subtract 414 from 420, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6261.717391
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6261.7173913
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6261.7173913
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6261.7173913 with a remaining 2e-08.
