975982 ÷ 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 975982.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 can be fit into 97 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 92 from 97.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 55 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 46 from 55, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 46

On to step 4:
99 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 212.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 92 from 99.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 46

On to step 5:
When dividing 78 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2121.0
Subtract 46 from 78 to get 32.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 322 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 322 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21217.0
Deduct 322 from 322 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21217.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21217.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21217.0 with a balance of 0.0.
