51842 divided by 46 
Our goal is to divide 51842 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
51 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 51 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 46

Step 3:
When dividing 58 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 46 from 58.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 124 / 46

On to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 124 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 92 from 124, we get 32.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 322 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 322 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1127.0
Subtracting 322 from 322 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 0 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1127.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1127.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1127.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
