We're dividing 999986 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 999986.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
99 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 92 from 99.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 goes into 79 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 46 from 79 to get 33.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 339 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 339 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217.0
If we take 322 away from 339, we end up with 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 178 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2173.0
Subtract 138 from 178 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 406 / 46

Step 6:
When dividing 406 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21738.0
Deduct 368 from 406 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 380 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21738.8
Deduct 368 from 380 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21738.82
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21738.826
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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21738.826
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 21738.82608
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21738.826086
Subtracting 276 from 320 leaves us 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.

On to step 13:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21738.8260869
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21738.82608695
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.

The quotient of the division is 21738.82608695, and the remainder is 3e-08.
