We're dividing 42287983 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 42287983 can be divided by 46.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 can be fit into 42 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 42 and we're left with 42.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 422 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 414 from 422 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 goes into 88 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 91.0
Subtracting 46 from 88 leaves us with 42.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 427 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 427 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 919.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 414 from 427.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 139 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9193.0
Subtract 138 from 139 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 46

Going ahead to step 7:
46 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 91930.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 183 / 46

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 183 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 45.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 919303.0
Subtracting 138 from 183 leaves us with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 450 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 36.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 919303.9
If we take 414 away from 450, 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 10:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 919303.97
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 919303.978
If we take 368 away from 380, 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.

On to step 12:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 919303.9782
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left 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:
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: 919303.97826
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.

On 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: 919303.97826
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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 15:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 919303.9782608
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
46 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 919303.97826086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left with 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 919303.97826086 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
