Let's divide 253917 by 46
We want to divide 253917 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 253 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 253, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 46

Step 4:
When dividing 239 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 230 from 239 to get 9.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 91 / 46

On to step 5:
46 goes into 91 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 551.0
If we subtract 46 from 91, we get 45.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 457 / 46

On to step 6:
If we divide 457 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5519.0
If we take 414 away from 457, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 goes into 430 9 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5519.9
Subtracting 414 from 430 leaves us 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 8:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5519.93
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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 9:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5519.934
Deduct 184 from 220 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5519.9347
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5519.93478
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.

Step 12:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5519.934782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5519.9347826
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5519.9347826
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 5519.9347826, and the remainder is 4e-08.
