We're dividing 479851 by 46 
We want to divide 479851 by 46.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 47 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 19 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 19 to get 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 46

Step 4:
The number 46 fits into 198 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 104.0
If we take 184 away from 198, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 145 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 goes into 145 3 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1043.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 138 from 145.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 71 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10431.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 46 from 71.
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:
If we divide 250 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10431.5
If we take 230 away from 250, we end up 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10431.54
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 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 9:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10431.543
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10431.5434
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
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:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10431.54347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10431.543478
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10431.5434782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us with 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.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10431.54347826
Subtract 276 from 280 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 10431.54347826 with a balance of 4e-09.
