Let's divide 553741 by 46
Our goal is to divide 553741 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
46 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 46

Step 2:
55 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 55 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 93 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 93 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 92 from 93.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 46

On to step 4:
When dividing 17 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 120.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 174 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1203.0
If we subtract 138 from 174, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 361 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 361 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 39.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12037.0
Deduct 322 from 361 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 390 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12037.8
If we subtract 368 from 390, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12037.84
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12037.847
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.

Step 10:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12037.8478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us 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 11:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12037.84782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12037.847826
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12037.847826
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12037.84782608
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up 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.

Our division results in 12037.84782608 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
