Let's divide 259146 by 46
Our goal is to divide 259146 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
46 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 46

On to step 3:
46 goes into 259 5 times with a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 230 from 259.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 291 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 291 6 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 276 from 291 and we're left with 15.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 46

On to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 154 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 563.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 138 from 154.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
46 can be fit into 166 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5633.0
Subtracting 138 from 166 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5633.6
If we subtract 276 from 280, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing 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: 5633.6
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5633.608
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5633.6086
If we subtract 276 from 320, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5633.60869
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5633.608695
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
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: 5633.6086956
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.

Step 14:
46 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5633.60869565
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.

The final result is 5633.60869565 with a remainder of 1e-08.
