We look at the division of 509278 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 509278 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 50 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 46 from 49 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 32 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 32.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 110.0
Subtracting 0 from 32 leaves us with 32.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 327 / 46

On to step 5:
327 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1107.0
Deduct 322 from 327 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11071.0
Deduct 46 from 58 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11071.2
If we subtract 92 from 120, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11071.26
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11071.26
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11071.2608
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up 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.

Step 11:
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: 11071.26086
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 12:
If we divide 440 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11071.260869
If we subtract 414 from 440, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11071.2608695
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11071.26086956
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.

The final outcome is 11071.26086956, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
