232697 divided by 46 
We want to divide 232697 by 46.

Step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 23 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
46 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 232 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
46 can be fit into 232 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 232, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
26 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 269 / 46

Step 5:
46 goes into 269 5 times with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 505.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 230 from 269.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 397 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 397 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5058.0
Subtract 368 from 397 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 290 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5058.6
Deduct 276 from 290 and we're left with 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 8:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5058.63
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
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 9:
If we divide 20 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5058.63
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5058.6304
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5058.63043
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5058.630434
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5058.6304347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5058.63043478
If we take 368 away from 380, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final result is 5058.63043478 with a remainder of 1.2e-08.
