Let's divide 586264 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 586264 can be divided by 46.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
58 divided by 46 is 1 with 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.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 46

On to step 3:
46 can be fit into 126 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 92 from 126, we get 34.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 342 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 goes into 342 7 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 322 from 342, we get 20.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 206 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 206 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1274.0
If we subtract 184 from 206, we get 22.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 224 / 46

On to step 6:
46 can be fit into 224 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12744.0
Deduct 184 from 224 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
46 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12744.8
Subtract 368 from 400 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12744.86
Subtract 276 from 320 to 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.

Step 9:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12744.869
Deduct 414 from 440 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12744.8695
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12744.86956
If we subtract 276 from 300, we 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 12:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12744.869565
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.

Step 13:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12744.8695652
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us 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 14:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12744.86956521
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 12744.86956521 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
