We're dividing 872120 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 872120 by 46.

On to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 46 from 87.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 412 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
46 goes into 412 8 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 368 from 412 leaves us with 44.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 441 / 46

On to step 4:
If we divide 441 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 189.0
Subtract 414 from 441 to get 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
272 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1895.0
If we take 230 away from 272, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 420 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18959.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 414 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18959.1
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18959.13
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
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: 18959.13
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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18959.1304
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.

On to step 11:
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: 18959.13043
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 12:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18959.130434
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18959.1304347
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 14:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18959.13043478
If we take 368 away from 380, we end up 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.

The final result is 18959.13043478 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
