We look at the division of 852983 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 852983.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 46

On to step 2:
46 can be fit into 85 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 85 to get 39.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 392 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
46 can be fit into 392 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 368 from 392 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 249 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 can be fit into 249 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 185.0
Subtracting 230 from 249 leaves us with 19.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 19 and repeat the process: 198 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 198 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1854.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 184 from 198.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 143 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 143 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18543.0
Deduct 138 from 143 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18543.1
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18543.1
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18543.108
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18543.1086
If we subtract 276 from 320, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18543.10869
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 414 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18543.108695
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18543.1086956
If we take 276 away from 300, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 18543.10869565
Deduct 230 from 240 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18543.10869565 with a remaining 1e-08.
