217789 divided by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 217789.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 217 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 217 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 184 from 217 leaves us with 33.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 337 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 337 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 15.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 322 from 337, we get 15.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 158 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 473.0
If we take 138 away from 158, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 209 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 209 4 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4734.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 184 from 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4734.5
If we subtract 230 from 250, we get 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:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4734.54
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4734.543
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4734.5434
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4734.54347
If we subtract 322 from 360, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4734.543478
Subtract 368 from 380 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4734.5434782
Subtract 92 from 120 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 14:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4734.54347826
If we subtract 276 from 280, 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.

After the division, we end up with 4734.54347826 and a remainder of 4e-09.
