We divide 549841 by 46
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 549841.

Step 1:
The number 46 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 54 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 46

Step 3:
The number 46 fits into 89 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 46 from 89 and we're left with 43.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 438 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
438 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtracting 414 from 438 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 244 / 46

On to step 5:
46 can be fit into 244 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1195.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 230 from 244.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 141 / 46

Step 6:
46 can be fit into 141 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11953.0
If we take 138 away from 141, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11953.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 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 8:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11953.06
Subtracting 276 from 300 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11953.065
If we subtract 230 from 240, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
46 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11953.0652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we 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 11:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11953.06521
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
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: 11953.065217
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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 180 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11953.0652173
If we take 138 away from 180, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11953.06521739
Subtracting 414 from 420 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11953.06521739 with a balance of 6e-09.
