We look at the division of 696917 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 696917 can be divided by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 46

Step 2:
69 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 69, we get 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
236 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 230 from 236 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 69 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 151.0
Subtract 46 from 69 to get 23.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 231 / 46

On to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 231 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1515.0
If we take 230 away from 231, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 46

On to step 6:
When dividing 17 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15150.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
46 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15150.3
Subtracting 138 from 170 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15150.36
If we take 276 away from 320, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15150.369
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 414 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15150.3695
If we subtract 230 from 260, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15150.36956
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.

On to step 12:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15150.369565
Subtract 230 from 240 to 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 13:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15150.3695652
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.

On to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15150.36956521
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 46 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 15150.36956521, and the remainder is 3.4e-08.
