We divide 790531 by 46
We want to divide 790531 by 46.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 79 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 79, we end up with 33.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 330 / 46

Step 3:
46 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 322 away from 330, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 85 / 46

Step 4:
85 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 46 from 85 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 393 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 goes into 393 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1718.0
Subtracting 368 from 393 leaves us with 25.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 251 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
46 can be fit into 251 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17185.0
If we take 230 away from 251, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 can be fit into 210 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 17185.4
Subtract 184 from 210 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.

Step 8:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17185.45
If we subtract 230 from 260, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17185.456
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17185.4565
If we subtract 230 from 240, we get 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 11:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17185.45652
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17185.456521
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 13:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17185.4565217
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 180 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17185.45652173
If we take 138 away from 180, we end up 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.

The quotient of the division is 17185.45652173, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
