Let's divide 988066 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 988066.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 46

Step 2:
46 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 92 from 98.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 46 from 68, we get 22.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 220 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 214.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 366 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 goes into 366 7 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2147.0
Deduct 322 from 366 and we're left with 44.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 446 / 46

On to step 6:
If we divide 446 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21479.0
Subtracting 414 from 446 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21479.6
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left with 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 8:
When dividing 440 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21479.69
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 414 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21479.695
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21479.6956
If we subtract 276 from 300, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21479.69565
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21479.695652
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21479.6956521
Subtract 46 from 80 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21479.69565217
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21479.69565217 and a remainder of 1.8e-08.
