We're dividing 789876 by 46 
We want to divide 789876 by 46.

On to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 46

Step 2:
When dividing 78 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 78, we get 32.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 329 / 46

On to step 3:
46 can be fit into 329 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 322 from 329 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
78 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 46 from 78.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 327 / 46

Step 5:
46 goes into 327 7 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1717.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 322 from 327.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 can be fit into 56 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17171.0
If we subtract 46 from 56, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17171.2
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17171.21
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17171.217
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 180 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17171.2173
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 138 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 420 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17171.21739
If we subtract 414 from 420, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17171.217391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17171.2173913
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 20 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17171.2173913
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 17171.2173913 with a balance of 2e-08.
