We're dividing 311831 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 311831.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 31 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
46 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 31, we get 31.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 311 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 goes into 311 6 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 276 from 311, we get 35.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 358 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 goes into 358 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 67.0
If we take 322 away from 358, we end up with 36.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 363 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
46 goes into 363 7 times with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 677.0
If we subtract 322 from 363, we get 41.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 411 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 411 8 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6778.0
If we take 368 away from 411, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
430 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6778.9
Deduct 414 from 430 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6778.93
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6778.934
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6778.9347
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.

On to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6778.93478
If we subtract 368 from 380, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6778.934782
If we take 92 away from 120, we end up 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6778.9347826
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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6778.9347826
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6778.9347826 and a remainder of 4e-08.
