We divide 423142 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 423142 can be divided by 46.

Step 1:
4 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 42 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
46 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 423 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
423 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 414 from 423, we get 9.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 91 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
46 can be fit into 91 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 91.0
If we take 46 away from 91, we end up with 45.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 454 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
454 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 919.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 414 from 454.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 402 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 goes into 402 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9198.0
Subtracting 368 from 402 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9198.7
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.

Step 8:
46 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9198.73
Deduct 138 from 180 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9198.739
Subtracting 414 from 420 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9198.7391
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
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:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9198.73913
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.

On to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9198.73913
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9198.7391304
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.

Step 14:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9198.73913043
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 9198.73913043 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
