287731 divided by 46 
Our goal is to divide 287731 by 46.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 46

Step 2:
When dividing 28 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 46

On to step 3:
287 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 276 away from 287, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 117 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 92 from 117.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 253 / 46

Step 5:
46 can be fit into 253 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 625.0
Subtract 230 from 253 to get 23.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 231 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
231 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6255.0
If we subtract 230 from 231, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6255.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6255.02
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6255.021
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6255.0217
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6255.02173
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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 420 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6255.021739
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6255.0217391
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.

Advancing to step 14:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6255.02173913
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6255.02173913 with a balance of 2e-09.
