Let's divide 280888 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 280888.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 280 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 48 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61.0
Deduct 46 from 48 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 610.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 288 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6106.0
If we take 276 away from 288, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6106.2
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us with 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 8:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6106.26
Subtracting 276 from 280 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
46 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6106.26
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6106.2608
If we subtract 368 from 400, we 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.

On to step 11:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6106.26086
Subtract 276 from 320 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6106.260869
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6106.2608695
If we subtract 230 from 260, we 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 14:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6106.26086956
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6106.26086956 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
