We divide 502038 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 502038.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
46 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 42 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 420 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
420 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtracting 414 from 420 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 63 / 46

On to step 5:
63 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1091.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 46 from 63.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 178 3 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10913.0
Subtract 138 from 178 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.

Step 7:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10913.8
If we subtract 368 from 400, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10913.86
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 440 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10913.869
Subtract 414 from 440 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10913.8695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 11:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10913.86956
If we subtract 276 from 300, we 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10913.869565
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
46 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10913.8695652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10913.86956521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10913.86956521 with a balance of 3.4e-08.
