We're dividing 232788 by 46 
We want to divide 232788 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 232 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
232 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 230 from 232, we get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 46

Step 4:
The number 46 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 278 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 506.0
Subtracting 276 from 278 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5060.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
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: 5060.6
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5060.6
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5060.608
Deduct 368 from 400 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5060.6086
Subtracting 276 from 320 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.

Step 11:
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: 5060.60869
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.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5060.608695
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5060.6086956
Subtracting 276 from 300 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5060.60869565
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.

After the division, we end up with 5060.60869565 and a remainder of 1e-08.
