Let's divide 587771 by 46
We want to divide 587771 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 58, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 46

Step 3:
127 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 35.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 92 from 127 and we're left with 35.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 357 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 357 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtract 322 from 357 to get 35.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 357 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 357 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1277.0
If we take 322 away from 357, we end up with 35.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 351 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 351 7 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12777.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 322 from 351.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12777.6
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 276 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12777.63
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12777.63
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12777.6304
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12777.63043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12777.630434
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12777.6304347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12777.63043478
Deduct 368 from 380 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 12777.63043478, with a leftover of 1.2e-08.
