We divide 408501 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 408501 can be divided by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 408 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 408 8 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 368 from 408 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 405 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 goes into 405 8 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
If we take 368 away from 405, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 370 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
370 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 888.0
If we take 368 away from 370, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
21 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8880.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8880.4
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 184 from 210.
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: 8880.45
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 230 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

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: 8880.456
Subtracting 276 from 300 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8880.4565
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 230 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8880.45652
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.

Advancing to step 12:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8880.456521
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8880.4565217
Subtract 322 from 340 to 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8880.45652173
Subtract 138 from 180 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 8880.45652173, and the remainder is 4.2e-08.
