We look at the division of 500042 by 46 
We want to divide 500042 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 50, we get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 400 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up with 32.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 324 / 46

On to step 5:
If we divide 324 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1087.0
If we subtract 322 from 324, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
46 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10870.0
Subtract 0 from 22 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.

Step 7:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10870.4
Deduct 184 from 220 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10870.47
If we subtract 322 from 360, we 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: 10870.478
Subtract 368 from 380 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10870.4782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
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 11:
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: 10870.47826
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10870.47826
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.

Moving on to step 13:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10870.4782608
If we subtract 368 from 400, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 320 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10870.47826086
Subtract 276 from 320 to 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 10870.47826086 with a remainder of 4.4e-08.
