Let's divide 49731 by 46
Our goal is to divide 49731 by 46.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 49 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 37 0 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 373 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 373 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we take 368 away from 373, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1081.0
Deduct 46 from 51 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 6:
50 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1081.1
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 46 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1081.1
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1081.108
Subtracting 368 from 400 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1081.1086
Subtract 276 from 320 to 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.

On to step 10:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1081.10869
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
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: 1081.108695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1081.1086956
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1081.10869565
Deduct 230 from 240 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1081.10869565 with a balance of 1e-08.
