Let's divide 592228 by 46
We want to divide 592228 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
46 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
59 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 59 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 132 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 can be fit into 132 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 92 from 132.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 402 / 46

On to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 402 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtract 368 from 402 to get 34.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 342 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
46 can be fit into 342 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1287.0
If we take 322 away from 342, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 208 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12874.0
Subtract 184 from 208 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12874.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 230 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12874.52
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:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12874.521
Subtract 46 from 80 to 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.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12874.5217
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12874.52173
Subtract 138 from 180 to get 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:
The number 46 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12874.521739
Deduct 414 from 420 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12874.5217391
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12874.52173913
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.

The final result is 12874.52173913 with a remainder of 2e-09.
