We divide 993471 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 993471 can be divided by 46.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 46

On to step 2:
46 goes into 99 2 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 92 from 99 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 73 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 46 from 73 to get 27.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 274 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 274 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 44.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 215.0
Subtracting 230 from 274 leaves us with 44.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 447 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
447 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2159.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 414 from 447.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 331 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 331 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21597.0
If we take 322 away from 331, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 90 1 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21597.1
Deduct 46 from 90 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21597.19
Subtract 414 from 440 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21597.195
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21597.1956
Deduct 276 from 300 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21597.19565
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21597.195652
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.

Advancing to step 13:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21597.1956521
Subtract 46 from 80 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 340 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21597.19565217
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 322 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21597.19565217, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
