263044 ÷ 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 263044.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 263 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
263 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 230 from 263.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 330 / 46

Step 4:
46 can be fit into 330 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 322 from 330 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 84 / 46

On to step 5:
46 goes into 84 1 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 571.0
Deduct 46 from 84 and we're left with 38.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 384 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 384 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5718.0
Deduct 368 from 384 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5718.3
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 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 8:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5718.34
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5718.347
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5718.3478
Deduct 368 from 380 and we're left 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:
46 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5718.34782
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5718.347826
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 13:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5718.347826
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5718.34782608
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5718.34782608 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
