46588 divided by 20 
Our goal is to divide 46588 by 20.

On to step 1:
The number 20 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 20

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 20 fits into 46 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 40 from 46 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 20

Advancing to step 3:
20 goes into 65 3 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 60 from 65, we get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 20

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 20, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 232.0
Deduct 40 from 58 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 20

Moving on to step 5:
20 goes into 188 9 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2329.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 180 from 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 6:
20 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2329.4
If we subtract 80 from 80, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 0 by 20, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2329.4
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
20 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2329.4
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2329.4 with a balance of 0.0.
