We're dividing 539755 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 539755 can be divided by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
53 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 53 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 79 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 46 from 79 to get 33.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 337 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 goes into 337 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtracting 322 from 337 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 155 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
155 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1173.0
If we subtract 138 from 155, we get 17.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 175 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 can be fit into 175 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11733.0
If we take 138 away from 175, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 370 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11733.8
If we subtract 368 from 370, we 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 8:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11733.8
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.

Step 9:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11733.804
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11733.8043
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
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 11:
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: 11733.80434
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11733.804347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
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 13:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11733.8043478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us 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 14:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11733.80434782
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11733.80434782 with a balance of 2.8e-08.
