842579 divided by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 842579.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 46

Step 2:
46 can be fit into 84 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 46 from 84.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 382 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 goes into 382 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 368 from 382 to get 14.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 145 / 46

Step 4:
If we divide 145 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 183.0
Deduct 138 from 145 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 46

On to step 5:
If we divide 77 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1831.0
Subtract 46 from 77 to get 31.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 319 / 46

On to step 6:
If we divide 319 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 43.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18316.0
Deduct 276 from 319 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
430 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18316.9
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 414 from 430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18316.93
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18316.934
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 18316.9347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18316.93478
Subtract 368 from 380 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18316.934782
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18316.9347826
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
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 14:
46 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18316.9347826
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 18316.9347826 and a remainder of 4e-08.
