We look at the division of 500587 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 500587.

Moving on to step 1:
46 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 46

On to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 50 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 405 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 can be fit into 405 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 368 from 405, we get 37.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 378 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 378 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1088.0
Subtract 368 from 378 to get 10.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 107 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
107 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10882.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 92 from 107.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
150 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10882.3
If we subtract 138 from 150, we get 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 8:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10882.32
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.

On to step 9:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10882.326
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10882.326
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10882.32608
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10882.326086
Subtract 276 from 320 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10882.3260869
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.

Moving on to step 14:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10882.32608695
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10882.32608695 and a remainder of 3e-08.
