588211 ÷ 46 
We want to divide 588211 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 46 from 58.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 128 / 46

Step 3:
46 goes into 128 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 92 from 128, we get 36.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 362 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 goes into 362 7 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtracting 322 from 362 leaves us with 40.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 401 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 can be fit into 401 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1278.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 368 from 401.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 331 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 331 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12787.0
Subtract 322 from 331 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12787.1
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 46 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 8:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12787.19
Deduct 414 from 440 and we're left 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:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12787.195
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12787.1956
Deduct 276 from 300 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12787.19565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up 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.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12787.195652
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.

Advancing to step 13:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12787.1956521
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12787.19565217
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left 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 12787.19565217 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
