We divide 218735 by 46
Our goal is to divide 218735 by 46.

Step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 46

Step 2:
When dividing 21 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 218 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 184 away from 218, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
347 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 322 from 347 to get 25.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 253 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 goes into 253 5 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 475.0
Subtracting 230 from 253 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 235 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 235 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4755.0
If we subtract 230 from 235, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
50 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4755.1
If we take 46 away from 50, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4755.1
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4755.108
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up 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.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4755.1086
Subtract 276 from 320 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 440 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4755.10869
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 26.
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 12:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4755.108695
If we subtract 230 from 260, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4755.1086956
Deduct 276 from 300 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4755.10869565
Subtract 230 from 240 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 4755.10869565 with a remainder of 1e-08.
