We look at the division of 288017 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 288017 by 46.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 288 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 288 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 276 from 288 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 120 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 62.0
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 281 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 626.0
Subtract 276 from 281 to get 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6261.0
If we take 46 away from 57, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6261.2
Subtracting 92 from 110 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.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 6261.23
Deduct 138 from 180 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6261.239
Subtracting 414 from 420 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 60 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6261.2391
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6261.23913
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
46 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6261.23913
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6261.2391304
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6261.23913043
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 6261.23913043 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
