We divide 590977 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 590977.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 goes into 59 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 46 from 59.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 130 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
130 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 92 from 130.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 389 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 389 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 368 from 389.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 46

On to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 217 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1284.0
Deduct 184 from 217 and we're left with 33.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 337 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 337 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 15.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12847.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 322 from 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 can be fit into 150 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12847.3
If we take 138 away from 150, 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 8:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12847.32
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us 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 9:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12847.326
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 12847.326
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12847.32608
Subtracting 368 from 400 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 320 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12847.326086
Deduct 276 from 320 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.

Moving on to step 13:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12847.3260869
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 414 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12847.32608695
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.

Our division results in 12847.32608695 with a remaining 3e-08.
