Let's divide 842902 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 842902 can be divided by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
46 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 46

On to step 2:
46 can be fit into 84 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 84 and we're left with 38.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 38 and repeat the process: 382 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
382 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 368 from 382, we get 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 149 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 183.0
If we subtract 138 from 149, we get 11.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 110 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 110 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1832.0
If we subtract 92 from 110, we get 18.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 182 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 can be fit into 182 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18323.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 138 from 182.
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 7:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18323.9
Deduct 414 from 440 and we're left 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 8:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18323.95
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18323.956
Subtracting 276 from 300 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.

Moving on to step 10:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18323.9565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up 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.

Step 11:
46 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18323.95652
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18323.956521
Deduct 46 from 80 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
46 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18323.9565217
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
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: 18323.95652173
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.

Our division results in 18323.95652173 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
