588691 ÷ 46 
Our goal is to divide 588691 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
58 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 58, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 128 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 92 from 128 and we're left with 36.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 366 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 366 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 322 from 366, we get 44.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 449 / 46

On to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 449 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1279.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 414 from 449.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 351 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
46 goes into 351 7 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12797.0
If we subtract 322 from 351, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
290 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12797.6
Subtract 276 from 290 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12797.63
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.

On to step 9:
46 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12797.63
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12797.6304
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12797.63043
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
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: 12797.630434
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.

Step 13:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12797.6304347
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.

Advancing to step 14:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12797.63043478
Subtract 368 from 380 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 12797.63043478 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
