Let's divide 978644 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 978644 can be divided by 46.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 46

On to step 2:
46 goes into 97 2 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 92 from 97 to get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 46

Step 3:
46 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 46 from 58 and we're left with 12.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 126 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 126 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 212.0
If we take 92 away from 126, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 344 / 46

Step 5:
When dividing 344 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2127.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 322 from 344.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 224 / 46

Step 6:
The number 46 fits into 224 4 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21274.0
If we take 184 away from 224, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21274.8
Subtract 368 from 400 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21274.86
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21274.869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21274.8695
If we subtract 230 from 260, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21274.86956
Deduct 276 from 300 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21274.869565
If we subtract 230 from 240, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21274.8695652
Deduct 92 from 100 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21274.86956521
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 46 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21274.86956521, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
