We look at the division of 442588 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 442588 by 46.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
44 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 0 from 44.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 442 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 442 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 414 away from 442, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 285 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 285 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 96.0
Subtracting 276 from 285 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 98 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 962.0
Subtract 92 from 98 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 46

Step 6:
46 goes into 68 1 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9621.0
If we take 46 away from 68, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9621.4
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up 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 8:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9621.47
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 9:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9621.478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9621.4782
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9621.47826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9621.47826
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9621.4782608
Subtract 368 from 400 to 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 14:
When dividing 320 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9621.47826086
If we subtract 276 from 320, 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.

The final result is 9621.47826086 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
