We look at the division of 879897 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 879897.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
87 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 87 leaves us with 41.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 419 / 46

Step 3:
The number 46 fits into 419 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 414 from 419 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 191.0
If we subtract 46 from 58, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 goes into 129 2 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1912.0
Subtracting 92 from 129 leaves us with 37.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 377 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 can be fit into 377 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19128.0
If we take 368 away from 377, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
90 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19128.1
If we subtract 46 from 90, we 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.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19128.19
If we subtract 414 from 440, we 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 9:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 19128.195
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 19128.1956
Deduct 276 from 300 and we're left 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 11:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19128.19565
If we subtract 230 from 240, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19128.195652
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19128.1956521
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19128.19565217
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Our division results in 19128.19565217 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
