Let's divide 240738 by 46
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 240738.

Moving on to step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
24 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
107 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 92 from 107.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 153 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 153 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 523.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 138 from 153.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
158 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5233.0
If we take 138 away from 158, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5233.4
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5233.43
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5233.434
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5233.4347
If we subtract 322 from 360, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5233.43478
If we subtract 368 from 380, 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5233.434782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5233.4347826
Subtract 276 from 280 to 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5233.4347826
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5233.4347826, and the remainder is 4e-08.
