We divide 642186 by 46
Our goal is to divide 642186 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 64 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 64 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 182 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 182 3 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 138 away from 182, we end up with 44.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 441 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
46 goes into 441 9 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 139.0
Deduct 414 from 441 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 can be fit into 278 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1396.0
Subtract 276 from 278 to get 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13960.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13960.5
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13960.56
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13960.565
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 230 from 240.
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 10:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13960.5652
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us 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 11:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13960.56521
Subtract 46 from 80 to 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.

Step 12:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13960.565217
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13960.5652173
If we subtract 138 from 180, we get 42.
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 14:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13960.56521739
If we subtract 414 from 420, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Our division results in 13960.56521739 with a remaining 6e-09.
