279584 ÷ 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 279584.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 279 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 276 from 279.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 35 / 46

Step 4:
If we divide 35 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 35.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 0 from 35.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 358 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
358 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 607.0
Deduct 322 from 358 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 364 / 46

On to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 364 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6077.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 322 from 364.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 6077.9
Deduct 414 from 420 and we're left 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 8:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6077.91
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 140 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6077.913
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 20 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6077.913
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6077.91304
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6077.913043
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6077.9130434
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 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 14:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6077.91304347
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.

The final result is 6077.91304347 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
