We're dividing 985561 by 46 
We want to divide 985561 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 46

Step 2:
98 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 92 from 98 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 goes into 65 1 times with a remainder of 19.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 46 from 65 and we're left with 19.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 195 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
195 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we subtract 184 from 195, we get 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 116 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2142.0
Subtracting 92 from 116 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 241 / 46

Step 6:
46 goes into 241 5 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21425.0
If we take 230 away from 241, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 goes into 110 2 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21425.2
Subtract 92 from 110 to 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 8:
When dividing 180 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21425.23
Subtract 138 from 180 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21425.239
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.

On to step 10:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21425.2391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21425.23913
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
46 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21425.23913
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 13:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21425.2391304
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21425.23913043
If we subtract 138 from 160, we 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.

The quotient of the division is 21425.23913043, and the remainder is 2.2e-08.
