We're dividing 188688 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 188688.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 46

Step 2:
46 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 188 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 188 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 184 away from 188, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 46 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we subtract 46 from 46, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 410.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 46

Step 6:
88 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4101.0
If we take 46 away from 88, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4101.9
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up with 6.
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 8:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4101.91
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 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 9:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4101.913
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 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 10:
46 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4101.913
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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 11:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4101.91304
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 12:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4101.913043
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4101.9130434
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 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 14:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4101.91304347
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final result is 4101.91304347 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
