Let's divide 186851 by 46
We want to divide 186851 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 46

Step 2:
The number 46 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 186 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 186 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 184 from 186 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 46

On to step 4:
If we divide 28 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 285 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 285 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 406.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 276 from 285.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 46

Step 6:
46 goes into 91 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4061.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 46 from 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 goes into 450 9 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4061.9
Deduct 414 from 450 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4061.97
Subtract 322 from 360 to get 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 9:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4061.978
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us 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 10:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4061.9782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4061.97826
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4061.97826
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4061.9782608
If we subtract 368 from 400, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4061.97826086
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4061.97826086 and a remainder of 4.4e-08.
