We look at the division of 252168 by 46 
We want to divide 252168 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 252 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 goes into 252 5 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 230 from 252 to get 22.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 221 / 46

Step 4:
When dividing 221 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 184 from 221.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 376 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 376 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtract 368 from 376 to get 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 can be fit into 88 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5481.0
If we take 46 away from 88, 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.

Step 7:
The number 46 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5481.9
Subtract 414 from 420 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5481.91
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5481.913
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5481.913
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5481.91304
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5481.913043
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5481.9130434
Subtract 184 from 220 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5481.91304347
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5481.91304347, and the remainder is 3.8e-08.
