We're dividing 288588 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 288588.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 288 / 46

Step 3:
If we divide 288 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 276 from 288 and we're left with 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 125 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 92 from 125 and we're left with 33.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 338 / 46

Step 5:
338 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 627.0
If we subtract 322 from 338, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 46

Step 6:
46 can be fit into 168 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6273.0
Subtract 138 from 168 to 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 7:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6273.6
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6273.65
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 230 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6273.652
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
46 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6273.6521
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6273.65217
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 180 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6273.652173
If we subtract 138 from 180, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 46 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6273.6521739
If we subtract 414 from 420, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6273.65217391
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6273.65217391 with a remaining 1.4e-08.
