We divide 391171 by 46
We want to divide 391171 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 goes into 39 0 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 39 leaves us with 39.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 391 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 391 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 23.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 368 from 391 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 can be fit into 231 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
Deduct 230 from 231 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 850.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
171 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8503.0
Subtracting 138 from 171 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 7:
46 can be fit into 330 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 8503.7
Deduct 322 from 330 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8503.71
Subtract 46 from 80 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8503.717
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8503.7173
If we take 138 away from 180, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
420 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8503.71739
Deduct 414 from 420 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8503.717391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8503.7173913
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.

Step 14:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8503.7173913
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8503.7173913 and a remainder of 2e-08.
