We divide 53438 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 53438 can be divided by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
53 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 53 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 46

Step 3:
46 can be fit into 74 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 46 from 74, we get 28.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 283 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 283 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 116.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 276 from 283.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 78 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1161.0
Subtracting 46 from 78 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1161.6
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1161.69
Deduct 414 from 440 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1161.695
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1161.6956
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1161.69565
Deduct 230 from 240 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1161.695652
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:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1161.6956521
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1161.69565217
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1161.69565217, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
