We look at the division of 542899 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 542899 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 54, we get 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 goes into 82 1 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 46 from 82 leaves us with 36.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 368 / 46

On to step 4:
When dividing 368 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 118.0
Deduct 368 from 368 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 9 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1180.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 46

On to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 99 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11802.0
Subtracting 92 from 99 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
70 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11802.1
Subtract 46 from 70 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11802.15
Subtract 230 from 240 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11802.152
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11802.1521
Deduct 46 from 80 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11802.15217
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11802.152173
Subtract 138 from 180 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 13:
420 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11802.1521739
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 414 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11802.15217391
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11802.15217391, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
