Let's divide 51481 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 51481.

Advancing to step 1:
46 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
51 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 51, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 46 from 54 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtract 46 from 88 to get 42.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 421 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1119.0
If we subtract 414 from 421, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
46 can be fit into 70 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1119.1
Subtracting 46 from 70 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1119.15
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1119.152
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
46 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1119.1521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1119.15217
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1119.152173
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 138 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 420 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1119.1521739
Deduct 414 from 420 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1119.15217391
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 1119.15217391 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
