We look at the division of 531408 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 531408 can be divided by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
53 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 53, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 46

On to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 46 from 71 to get 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 254 5 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtracting 230 from 254 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 240 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1155.0
Deduct 230 from 240 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 108 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
46 can be fit into 108 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11552.0
Subtract 92 from 108 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11552.3
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11552.34
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us with 36.
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 9:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11552.347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
46 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11552.3478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11552.34782
Subtract 92 from 120 to get 28.
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 12:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11552.347826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
46 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11552.347826
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11552.34782608
Subtract 368 from 400 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11552.34782608, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
