We look at the division of 46945871 by 496 
We want to figure out the number of times 46945871 can be divided by 496.

On to step 1:
The number 496 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 496

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 496 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 469 / 496

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 469 by 496, we get 0 with a remainder of 469.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 469 leaves us with 469.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 469 and continue: 4694 / 496

Advancing to step 4:
496 goes into 4694 9 times with a remainder of 230.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 4464 from 4694 and we're left with 230.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 230 and continue: 2305 / 496

Step 5:
If we divide 2305 by 496, we get 4 and a remainder of 321.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 94.0
Deduct 1984 from 2305 and we're left with 321.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 321 and continue: 3218 / 496

Step 6:
496 goes into 3218 6 times with a remainder of 242.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 946.0
If we subtract 2976 from 3218, we get 242.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 242, then repeat: 2427 / 496

Step 7:
If we divide 2427 by 496, we get 4 and a remainder of 443.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9464.0
Subtract 1984 from 2427 to get 443.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 443 and continue with: 4431 / 496

On to step 8:
496 goes into 4431 8 times with a remainder of 463.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 94648.0
The remainder is 463 after subtracting 3968 from 4431.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
496 can be fit into 4630 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 94648.9
The remainder is 166 after subtracting 4464 from 4630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 1660 by 496, we get 3 and a remainder of 172.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 94648.93
Subtract 1488 from 1660 to get 172.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 496 fits into 1720 3 times, leaving a remainder of 232.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 94648.933
Deduct 1488 from 1720 and we're left with 232.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 94648.933 with a balance of 0.0232.
