We're dividing 140491 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 140491.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
14 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 46

Step 4:
If we divide 24 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 goes into 249 5 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 305.0
Subtracting 230 from 249 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 191 / 46

Step 6:
If we divide 191 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3054.0
Subtract 184 from 191 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3054.1
If we take 46 away from 70, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 3054.15
Subtract 230 from 240 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3054.152
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3054.1521
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up 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.

Step 11:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3054.15217
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
46 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3054.152173
Subtract 138 from 180 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3054.1521739
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3054.15217391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 3054.15217391 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
