Let's divide 272524 by 46
Our goal is to divide 272524 by 46.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 46

Step 3:
272 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 230 from 272 and we're left with 42.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 425 / 46

On to step 4:
When dividing 425 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 414 from 425 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 112 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 112 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 20.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 592.0
Subtracting 92 from 112 leaves us with 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 46

Step 6:
If we divide 204 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5924.0
If we take 184 away from 204, we end up 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5924.4
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
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: 5924.43
Subtract 138 from 160 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5924.434
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5924.4347
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5924.43478
Subtract 368 from 380 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5924.434782
Subtract 92 from 120 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5924.4347826
If we subtract 276 from 280, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5924.4347826
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5924.4347826 with a balance of 4e-08.
