We look at the division of 243481 by 46 
We want to divide 243481 by 46.

Step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 243 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 243 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 230 from 243 leaves us with 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 goes into 134 2 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 92 from 134.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 428 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 428 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 529.0
If we subtract 414 from 428, we get 14.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 141 / 46

On to step 6:
141 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5293.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5293.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 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 8:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5293.06
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 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 9:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5293.065
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5293.0652
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 11:
46 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5293.06521
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5293.065217
If we take 322 away from 340, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 180 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5293.0652173
Subtracting 138 from 180 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 420 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5293.06521739
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 5293.06521739 and a remainder of 6e-09.
