240431 divided by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 240431.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 240 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 can be fit into 104 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 92 from 104.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 123 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
46 can be fit into 123 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 522.0
Subtract 92 from 123 to get 31.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 311 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 goes into 311 6 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5226.0
Subtracting 276 from 311 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
46 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5226.7
If we take 322 away from 350, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5226.76
Subtract 276 from 280 to 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.

Step 9:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5226.76
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5226.7608
If we subtract 368 from 400, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5226.76086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5226.760869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5226.7608695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5226.76086956
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.

Our division results in 5226.76086956 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
