We're dividing 273456 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 273456 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 273 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
273 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 273, we end up with 43.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 434 / 46

On to step 4:
46 can be fit into 434 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 414 away from 434, we end up with 20.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 205 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
205 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 594.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 184 from 205.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 216 4 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5944.0
Deduct 184 from 216 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5944.6
Subtracting 276 from 320 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5944.69
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5944.695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5944.6956
If we subtract 276 from 300, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5944.69565
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5944.695652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5944.6956521
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 46 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 14:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5944.69565217
If we take 322 away from 340, we end up 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.

The final result is 5944.69565217 with a remainder of 1.8e-08.
