588973 ÷ 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 588973.

Moving on to step 1:
5 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 46

Step 2:
If we divide 58 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 58 to get 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 128 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 92 from 128 and we're left with 36.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 369 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 goes into 369 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
If we take 368 away from 369, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 46

On to step 5:
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: 1280.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 173 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 173 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12803.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 138 from 173.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 350 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12803.7
Subtract 322 from 350 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12803.76
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
46 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12803.76
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12803.7608
Subtract 368 from 400 to 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.

Step 11:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12803.76086
If we subtract 276 from 320, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 440 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12803.760869
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us 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 13:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12803.7608695
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
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 14:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12803.76086956
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.

Our division results in 12803.76086956 with a remaining 2.4e-08.
