712472 ÷ 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 712472 can be divided by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 71 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 71 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 252 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 goes into 252 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 230 away from 252, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 46

On to step 4:
224 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 154.0
Deduct 184 from 224 and we're left with 40.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 407 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 goes into 407 8 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1548.0
If we subtract 368 from 407, we get 39.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 392 / 46

On to step 6:
392 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15488.0
Subtracting 368 from 392 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
46 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15488.5
Deduct 230 from 240 and we're left 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 8:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15488.52
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.

On to step 9:
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: 15488.521
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15488.5217
Subtract 322 from 340 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15488.52173
Deduct 138 from 180 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 12:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15488.521739
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up 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 13:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15488.5217391
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15488.52173913
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 15488.52173913 and a remainder of 2e-09.
