Let's divide 489654 by 46
We want to divide 489654 by 46.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 46

On to step 2:
48 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 46 from 48.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 46

On to step 3:
29 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 296 / 46

On to step 4:
46 goes into 296 6 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 276 from 296.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 205 4 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1064.0
Deduct 184 from 205 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 214 4 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10644.0
If we subtract 184 from 214, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10644.6
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10644.65
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10644.652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10644.6521
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.

Moving on to step 11:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10644.65217
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left 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 12:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10644.652173
Subtract 138 from 180 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 420 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10644.6521739
Subtracting 414 from 420 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10644.65217391
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 10644.65217391 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
