726781 ÷ 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 726781.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 26.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 72 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 46

Step 3:
46 can be fit into 266 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 230 from 266, we get 36.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 367 / 46

On to step 4:
If we divide 367 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtract 322 from 367 to get 45.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 458 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
458 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1579.0
Subtracting 414 from 458 leaves us with 44.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 441 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 441 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15799.0
Deduct 414 from 441 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 270 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15799.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 230 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 400 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15799.58
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15799.586
Subtracting 276 from 320 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 10:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15799.5869
Subtract 414 from 440 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15799.58695
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 12:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15799.586956
If we take 276 away from 300, 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15799.5869565
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 230 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
46 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 15799.58695652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 15799.58695652 with a remaining 8e-09.
