Let's divide 972850 by 46
We want to divide 972850 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 92 from 97, we get 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 46

On to step 3:
46 goes into 52 1 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 46 from 52.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 68 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 211.0
If we take 46 away from 68, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 225 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
225 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2114.0
Subtracting 184 from 225 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 410 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 410 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21148.0
Subtract 368 from 410 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21148.9
Subtract 414 from 420 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 46 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21148.91
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21148.913
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21148.913
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21148.91304
If we subtract 184 from 200, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21148.913043
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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21148.9130434
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.

Moving on to step 14:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21148.91304347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us 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 quotient of the division is 21148.91304347, and the remainder is 3.8e-08.
