We divide 589427 by 46
Our goal is to divide 589427 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 46

Step 2:
46 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 58 to get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 can be fit into 129 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 92 from 129 and we're left with 37.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 374 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 374 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtracting 368 from 374 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 62 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1281.0
If we subtract 46 from 62, we get 16.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 167 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 167 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12813.0
Subtract 138 from 167 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 290 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12813.6
Deduct 276 from 290 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12813.63
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
20 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12813.63
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.

Moving on to step 10:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12813.6304
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up 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.

Step 11:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12813.63043
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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 12:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12813.630434
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12813.6304347
If we take 322 away from 360, we end up 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.

Step 14:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12813.63043478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 12813.63043478 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
