We look at the division of 586477 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 586477 can be divided by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 46

Step 2:
46 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 58 and we're left with 12.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 126 / 46

Step 3:
The number 46 fits into 126 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 92 from 126 and we're left with 34.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 344 / 46

On to step 4:
344 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 22.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 127.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 322 from 344.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
227 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1274.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 184 from 227.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 437 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
437 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12749.0
Subtract 414 from 437 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12749.5
Subtract 230 from 230 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
46 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12749.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 9:
If we divide 0 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12749.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 12749.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
