We divide 262140 by 46
We want to divide 262140 by 46.

Step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 46

On to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 26 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 262 / 46

Step 3:
46 goes into 262 5 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 230 from 262, we get 32.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 321 / 46

On to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 321 6 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 276 from 321 and we're left with 45.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 454 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 454 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 569.0
Subtract 414 from 454 to get 40.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 400 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5698.0
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 7:
46 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5698.6
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.

Advancing to step 8:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5698.69
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.

On to step 9:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5698.695
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5698.6956
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
46 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5698.69565
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5698.695652
Subtract 92 from 100 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
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: 5698.6956521
Deduct 46 from 80 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5698.69565217
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final result is 5698.69565217 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
