282494 divided by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 282494 can be divided by 46.

Step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Step 2:
46 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
282 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 276 away from 282, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
64 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 46 from 64 to get 18.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
189 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 614.0
If we subtract 184 from 189, we get 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6141.0
Deduct 46 from 54 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 7:
46 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6141.1
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6141.17
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 46 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6141.173
If we subtract 138 from 180, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6141.1739
Subtract 414 from 420 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6141.17391
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
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 12:
If we divide 140 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6141.173913
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6141.173913
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.

On to step 14:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6141.17391304
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6141.17391304 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
