We divide 259603 by 46
We want to divide 259603 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 can be fit into 259 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 230 from 259 to get 29.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 296 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 296 6 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtracting 276 from 296 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 200 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 564.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 163 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 163 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 25.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5643.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 138 from 163.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
250 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5643.5
Deduct 230 from 250 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 200 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5643.54
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5643.543
If we subtract 138 from 160, 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.

Step 10:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5643.5434
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.

Step 11:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5643.54347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5643.543478
Deduct 368 from 380 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5643.5434782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 14:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5643.54347826
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.

The final outcome is 5643.54347826, with a leftover of 4e-09.
