We're dividing 985777 by 46 
We want to divide 985777 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 92 from 98.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 46

On to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 65 1 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we take 46 away from 65, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 can be fit into 197 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 214.0
Deduct 184 from 197 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 46

Step 5:
137 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 45.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2142.0
Subtracting 92 from 137 leaves us with 45.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 457 / 46

Step 6:
The number 46 fits into 457 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21429.0
If we take 414 away from 457, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21429.9
Subtracting 414 from 430 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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21429.93
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21429.934
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21429.9347
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left with 38.
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 11:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21429.93478
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21429.934782
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21429.9347826
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21429.9347826
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 21429.9347826, and the remainder is 4e-08.
