We look at the division of 71427 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 71427 by 46.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 46

Step 2:
46 can be fit into 71 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 46 from 71.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 46

On to step 3:
When dividing 254 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 230 from 254 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 46

On to step 4:
46 can be fit into 242 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 230 from 242.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 127 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 127 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 35.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1552.0
Subtracting 92 from 127 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 350 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 28.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1552.7
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 322 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1552.76
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 8:
46 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1552.76
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1552.7608
If we subtract 368 from 400, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1552.76086
If we take 276 away from 320, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1552.760869
Subtract 414 from 440 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1552.7608695
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1552.76086956
If we subtract 276 from 300, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1552.76086956, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
