Let's divide 853989 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 853989.

On to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
85 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 85 to get 39.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 393 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 393 8 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 368 from 393.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 259 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 259 5 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 185.0
If we subtract 230 from 259, we get 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 298 6 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1856.0
Deduct 276 from 298 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 229 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 45.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18564.0
Subtract 184 from 229 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 46 fits into 450 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18564.9
If we subtract 414 from 450, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18564.97
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 9:
46 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18564.978
If we take 368 away from 380, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18564.9782
If we take 92 away from 120, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18564.97826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18564.97826
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18564.9782608
Subtract 368 from 400 to 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18564.97826086
If we subtract 276 from 320, we 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 outcome is 18564.97826086, with a leftover of 4.4e-08.
