548509 ÷ 46 
We want to divide 548509 by 46.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 54, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 88 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 46 from 88 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 425 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
46 can be fit into 425 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119.0
Subtract 414 from 425 to get 11.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 110 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1192.0
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 goes into 189 4 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11924.0
If we subtract 184 from 189, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11924.1
If we subtract 46 from 50, 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.

Step 8:
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: 11924.1
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11924.108
If we subtract 368 from 400, we 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 10:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11924.1086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11924.10869
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11924.108695
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.

On to step 13:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11924.1086956
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11924.10869565
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11924.10869565 with a balance of 1e-08.
