46873431 divided by 498 
We want to figure out the number of times 46873431 can be divided by 498.

Step 1:
4 divided by 498 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 498

Let's proceed to step 2:
46 divided by 498 is 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 0 from 46.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 468 / 498

Advancing to step 3:
468 divided by 498 is 0 with a remainder of 468.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 468, we end up with 468.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 468 and repeat the process: 4687 / 498

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 498 fits into 4687 9 times, leaving a remainder of 205.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 4482 away from 4687, we end up with 205.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 205 and continue: 2053 / 498

Moving on to step 5:
2053 divided by 498 is 4 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 94.0
Subtracting 1992 from 2053 leaves us with 61.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 614 / 498

Moving on to step 6:
The number 498 fits into 614 1 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 941.0
Subtract 498 from 614 to get 116.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 116, then repeat: 1163 / 498

Step 7:
When dividing 1163 by 498, we get 2 with a remainder of 167.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9412.0
If we take 996 away from 1163, we end up with 167.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 167 and repeat the process: 1671 / 498

Going ahead to step 8:
1671 divided by 498 is 3 with a remainder of 177.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 94123.0
Deduct 1494 from 1671 and we're left with 177.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
1770 divided by 498 is 3 with a remainder of 276.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 94123.3
If we subtract 1494 from 1770, we get 276.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
498 goes into 2760 5 times with a remainder of 270.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 94123.35
Subtract 2490 from 2760 to get 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2700, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 2700 by 498, we get 5 with a remainder of 210.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 94123.355
Deduct 2490 from 2700 and we're left with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

The final result is 94123.355 with a remainder of 0.021.
