We're dividing 284872 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 284872.

Step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 284 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
284 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 276 from 284, we get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 46 from 88.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 427 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
427 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 619.0
Subtract 414 from 427 to get 13.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 132 / 46

Step 6:
132 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6192.0
Subtracting 92 from 132 leaves us with 40.
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 7:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6192.8
Deduct 368 from 400 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 320 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6192.86
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
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 9:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6192.869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6192.8695
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6192.86956
Subtracting 276 from 300 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6192.869565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
46 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6192.8695652
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.

On to step 14:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6192.86956521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final result is 6192.86956521 with a remainder of 3.4e-08.
