539917 divided by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 539917 can be divided by 46.

On to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 53 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 53 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
79 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 46 away from 79, we end up with 33.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 339 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 339 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 117.0
If we take 322 away from 339, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 171 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1173.0
If we take 138 away from 171, we end up with 33.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 337 / 46

On to step 6:
When dividing 337 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11737.0
Subtract 322 from 337 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11737.3
If we subtract 138 from 150, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11737.32
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11737.326
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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11737.326
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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 11:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11737.32608
Subtract 368 from 400 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11737.326086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11737.3260869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11737.32608695
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left 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 final result is 11737.32608695 with a remainder of 3e-08.
