502989 ÷ 46 
Our goal is to divide 502989 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 50 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 50 to get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
42 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 429 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 429 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 109.0
If we subtract 414 from 429, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 can be fit into 158 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1093.0
If we take 138 away from 158, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 209 / 46

Step 6:
When dividing 209 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 25.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10934.0
Deduct 184 from 209 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10934.5
Deduct 230 from 250 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10934.54
Deduct 184 from 200 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.

Advancing to step 9:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10934.543
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.

On to step 10:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 10934.5434
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 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 11:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10934.54347
Subtract 322 from 360 to 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 12:
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: 10934.543478
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
46 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10934.5434782
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10934.54347826
If we subtract 276 from 280, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10934.54347826, with a leftover of 4e-09.
