257212 divided by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 257212.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
25 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 230 from 257 to get 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 272 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 230 from 272.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 421 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 421 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 559.0
If we subtract 414 from 421, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 46

Step 6:
46 goes into 72 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5591.0
Subtract 46 from 72 to get 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 7:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5591.5
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5591.56
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
46 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5591.565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5591.5652
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5591.56521
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 340 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5591.565217
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5591.5652173
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 138 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5591.56521739
Subtracting 414 from 420 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 5591.56521739 with a remainder of 6e-09.
