Let's divide 219494 by 46
We want to divide 219494 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 219 / 46

On to step 3:
When dividing 219 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 184 from 219 to get 35.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 354 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 354 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 322 from 354 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 329 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 329 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 477.0
If we subtract 322 from 329, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 46

Step 6:
When dividing 74 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4771.0
If we subtract 46 from 74, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4771.6
Subtracting 276 from 280 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4771.6
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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:
46 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4771.608
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4771.6086
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
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:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4771.60869
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4771.608695
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4771.6086956
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4771.60869565
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us 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.

The final result is 4771.60869565 with a remainder of 1e-08.
