Let's divide 254902 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 254902.

Step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
25 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 254 5 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 254, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 249 5 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 230 from 249 leaves us with 19.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 190 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 190 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 554.0
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
62 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5541.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 46 from 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5541.3
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5541.34
Subtract 184 from 220 to get 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 9:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5541.347
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 10:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5541.3478
Subtract 368 from 380 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5541.34782
If we subtract 92 from 120, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5541.347826
If we subtract 276 from 280, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5541.347826
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 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 14:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5541.34782608
Subtracting 368 from 400 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5541.34782608 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
