Let's divide 958987 by 46
We want to divide 958987 by 46.

Step 1:
The number 46 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 95 / 46

On to step 2:
95 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 92 from 95 to get 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 38 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 389 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
389 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 208.0
Deduct 368 from 389 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 218 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2084.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 184 from 218.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 347 7 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20847.0
Subtract 322 from 347 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
46 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20847.5
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 230 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20847.54
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20847.543
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 10:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20847.5434
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20847.54347
Subtract 322 from 360 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20847.543478
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 368 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 20847.5434782
If we subtract 92 from 120, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 20847.54347826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20847.54347826 with a balance of 4e-09.
