We look at the division of 253481 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 253481.

Step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 253 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 253 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 230 from 253.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 234 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 234 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 230 from 234 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 48 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 551.0
Deduct 46 from 48 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
46 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5510.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5510.4
If we subtract 184 from 210, we get 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 8:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5510.45
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.

Moving on to step 9:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5510.456
If we subtract 276 from 300, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5510.4565
If we subtract 230 from 240, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
46 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5510.45652
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5510.456521
Deduct 46 from 80 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
46 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5510.4565217
Subtract 322 from 340 to 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.

Step 14:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5510.45652173
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.

The quotient of the division is 5510.45652173, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
