211578 ÷ 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 211578 can be divided by 46.

On to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 211 / 46

On to step 3:
46 goes into 211 4 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 184 from 211, we get 27.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 275 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 275 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtract 230 from 275 to get 45.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 457 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
46 can be fit into 457 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 459.0
If we take 414 away from 457, we end up with 43.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 438 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 438 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4599.0
Deduct 414 from 438 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4599.5
Subtract 230 from 240 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4599.52
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4599.521
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4599.5217
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4599.52173
Subtracting 138 from 180 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4599.521739
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 414 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4599.5217391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4599.52173913
If we subtract 138 from 140, 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.

The final result is 4599.52173913 with a remainder of 2e-09.
