We're dividing 731081 by 46 
We want to divide 731081 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
46 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 73 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 73, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 46

Step 3:
271 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 230 from 271.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 410 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 158.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 368 from 410.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 428 / 46

Step 5:
The number 46 fits into 428 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1589.0
Subtracting 414 from 428 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 141 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 141 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15893.0
Subtract 138 from 141 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15893.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15893.06
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15893.065
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15893.0652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15893.06521
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15893.065217
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.

Moving on to step 13:
46 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15893.0652173
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15893.06521739
If we subtract 414 from 420, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 15893.06521739 and a remainder of 6e-09.
