We divide 288840 by 46
Our goal is to divide 288840 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 288 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 276 from 288.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 128 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 goes into 128 2 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 92 away from 128, we end up with 36.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 364 / 46

Step 5:
The number 46 fits into 364 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 627.0
If we subtract 322 from 364, we get 42.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 420 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6279.0
Subtract 414 from 420 to get 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 7:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6279.1
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6279.13
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6279.13
If we subtract 0 from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 10:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6279.1304
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6279.13043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6279.130434
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 13:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6279.1304347
Subtract 322 from 360 to 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.

On to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6279.13043478
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.

The quotient of the division is 6279.13043478, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
