Let's divide 497722 by 46
Our goal is to divide 497722 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 49, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 46

On to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 46

On to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 377 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108.0
Subtracting 368 from 377 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 92 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1082.0
Subtract 92 from 92 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 46

On to step 6:
2 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10820.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10820.0
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10820.04
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10820.043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10820.0434
Deduct 184 from 220 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10820.04347
If we take 322 away from 360, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10820.043478
Deduct 368 from 380 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10820.0434782
If we take 92 away from 120, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10820.04347826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 10820.04347826 with a remainder of 4e-09.
