Let's divide 283864 by 46
Our goal is to divide 283864 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
28 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 283 / 46

On to step 3:
When dividing 283 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 276 from 283 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 46

On to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 78 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 46 from 78 to get 32.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 326 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 326 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 617.0
If we subtract 322 from 326, we get 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 44 0 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6170.0
Subtract 0 from 44 to 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.

Moving on to step 7:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6170.9
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
46 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6170.95
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6170.956
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6170.9565
If we subtract 230 from 240, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6170.95652
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 8.
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 12:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6170.956521
Deduct 46 from 80 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 13:
46 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6170.9565217
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6170.95652173
Subtracting 138 from 180 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6170.95652173 and a remainder of 4.2e-08.
