We divide 985496 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 985496.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 98 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 92 from 98, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 46

Step 3:
When dividing 65 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 46 from 65, we get 19.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 194 / 46

On to step 4:
If we divide 194 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we subtract 184 from 194, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 109 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 109 2 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2142.0
If we subtract 92 from 109, we get 17.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 176 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 can be fit into 176 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21423.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 138 from 176.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
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: 21423.8
If we take 368 away from 380, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
46 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21423.82
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21423.826
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21423.826
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21423.82608
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.

On to step 12:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 21423.826086
If we take 276 away from 320, we end up with 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 13:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21423.8260869
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21423.82608695
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21423.82608695, and the remainder is 3e-08.
