Let's divide 259914 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 259914.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 46

Step 3:
When dividing 259 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 230 from 259 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
299 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtract 276 from 299 to get 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 goes into 231 5 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 565.0
If we take 230 away from 231, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 46

Step 6:
If we divide 14 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5650.0
Deduct 0 from 14 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.

Moving on to step 7:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5650.3
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 20 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5650.3
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5650.304
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5650.3043
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 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 11:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5650.30434
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up 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 12:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5650.304347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5650.3043478
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.

On to step 14:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5650.30434782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 5650.30434782, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
