We're dividing 971230 by 46 
We want to divide 971230 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 92 from 97.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 51 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 46 from 51.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 52 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 211.0
If we take 46 away from 52, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 63 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 63 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2111.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 46 from 63.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 170 / 46

Step 6:
46 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21113.0
Subtract 138 from 170 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21113.6
If we subtract 276 from 320, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 440 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21113.69
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21113.695
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21113.6956
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:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21113.69565
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.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21113.695652
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21113.6956521
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21113.69565217
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 21113.69565217 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
