We divide 987780 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 987780.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 92 from 98 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 67 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 67 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 46 from 67 to get 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
217 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
Subtract 184 from 217 to get 33.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 338 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2147.0
If we subtract 322 from 338, we get 16.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 160 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21473.0
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21473.4
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21473.47
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 380 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21473.478
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 21473.4782
If we subtract 92 from 120, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21473.47826
If we subtract 276 from 280, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21473.47826
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21473.4782608
Deduct 368 from 400 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21473.47826086
If we subtract 276 from 320, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21473.47826086 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
