We divide 125985 by 46
Our goal is to divide 125985 by 46.

Step 1:
46 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 46

On to step 3:
When dividing 125 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 33.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 92 from 125.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 339 / 46

On to step 4:
When dividing 339 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 17.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 322 from 339 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 178 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 273.0
If we subtract 138 from 178, we get 40.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 405 / 46

On to step 6:
When dividing 405 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2738.0
Subtract 368 from 405 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 370 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2738.8
If we subtract 368 from 370, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
46 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2738.8
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2738.804
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2738.8043
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2738.80434
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.

Step 12:
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: 2738.804347
Subtract 322 from 360 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2738.8043478
If we take 368 away from 380, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2738.80434782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 2738.80434782 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
