487257 ÷ 46 
We want to divide 487257 by 46.

Step 1:
The number 46 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 48, we get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 46

Step 3:
When dividing 27 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 272 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 272 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 42.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 105.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 230 from 272.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 425 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 425 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1059.0
If we subtract 414 from 425, we get 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 46

Step 6:
The number 46 fits into 117 2 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10592.0
If we take 92 away from 117, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10592.5
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.

Step 8:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10592.54
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up 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.

Step 9:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10592.543
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10592.5434
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 10592.54347
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.

Advancing to step 12:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10592.543478
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 368 from 380.
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 13:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10592.5434782
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10592.54347826
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.

The final result is 10592.54347826 with a remainder of 4e-09.
