497874 divided by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 497874 can be divided by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 49 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 46

On to step 3:
46 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 37, we get 37.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 378 / 46

On to step 4:
46 can be fit into 378 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108.0
Subtracting 368 from 378 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 107 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1082.0
If we take 92 away from 107, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 46

Step 6:
46 goes into 154 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10823.0
Subtracting 138 from 154 leaves us with 16.
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 7:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10823.3
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.

Step 8:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10823.34
Deduct 184 from 220 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.

On to step 9:
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: 10823.347
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.

On to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10823.3478
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10823.34782
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left with 28.
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 12:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10823.347826
Subtracting 276 from 280 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10823.347826
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10823.34782608
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up 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.

Our division results in 10823.34782608 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
