Let's divide 978196 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 978196 can be divided by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
46 can be fit into 97 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 92 from 97 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 46 from 58, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 121 2 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 212.0
Deduct 92 from 121 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
299 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2126.0
Subtract 276 from 299 to get 23.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 236 / 46

On to step 6:
236 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21265.0
If we subtract 230 from 236, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21265.1
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21265.13
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21265.13
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21265.1304
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21265.13043
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 21265.130434
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 13:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21265.1304347
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 380 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21265.13043478
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.

The final result is 21265.13043478 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
