Let's divide 488575 by 46
We want to divide 488575 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 46

Step 2:
46 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 48 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
28 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 285 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 goes into 285 6 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
If we subtract 276 from 285, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 97 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1062.0
Deduct 92 from 97 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10621.0
Subtract 46 from 55 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10621.1
Subtracting 46 from 90 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10621.19
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10621.195
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10621.1956
If we take 276 away from 300, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10621.19565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10621.195652
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10621.1956521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10621.19565217
If we take 322 away from 340, we end up 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.

The final result is 10621.19565217 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
