Let's divide 212081 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 212081.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 212 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 212 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 184 from 212, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 280 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 48 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 461.0
Subtracting 46 from 48 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 21 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4610.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
46 goes into 210 4 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4610.4
Deduct 184 from 210 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4610.45
If we subtract 230 from 260, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4610.456
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 10:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4610.4565
Subtract 230 from 240 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4610.45652
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up 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.

On to step 12:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4610.456521
Subtract 46 from 80 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4610.4565217
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 180 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4610.45652173
If we take 138 away from 180, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4610.45652173 with a balance of 4.2e-08.
