We're dividing 977696 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 977696 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 can be fit into 97 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 92 from 97, we get 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 46

On to step 3:
46 goes into 57 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 46 away from 57, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 116 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
46 can be fit into 116 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
If we subtract 92 from 116, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 249 5 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2125.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 230 from 249.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 196 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 196 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21254.0
Deduct 184 from 196 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21254.2
Subtract 92 from 120 to 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.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21254.26
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21254.26
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21254.2608
Subtracting 368 from 400 leaves us 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 11:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21254.26086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 440 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21254.260869
Subtract 414 from 440 to 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.

On to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21254.2608695
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21254.26086956
Deduct 276 from 300 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.

The final result is 21254.26086956 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
