We're dividing 250987 by 46 
We want to divide 250987 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
46 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 250 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 230 from 250 to get 20.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 209 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 209 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 25.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 184 away from 209, we end up with 25.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 258 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 258 5 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 545.0
Subtract 230 from 258 to get 28.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 287 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 287 6 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5456.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 276 from 287.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
46 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5456.2
If we subtract 92 from 110, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 180 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5456.23
Subtract 138 from 180 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5456.239
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up with 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 10:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5456.2391
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5456.23913
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.

Moving on to step 12:
46 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5456.23913
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5456.2391304
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up with 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 14:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5456.23913043
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5456.23913043 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
