We're dividing 280470 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 280470.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 46

On to step 4:
When dividing 44 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtracting 0 from 44 leaves us with 44.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 447 / 46

Step 5:
The number 46 fits into 447 9 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 609.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 414 from 447.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 330 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 330 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6097.0
Deduct 322 from 330 and we're left with 8.
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 7:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6097.1
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.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6097.17
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
46 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6097.173
Subtracting 138 from 180 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6097.1739
Subtracting 414 from 420 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6097.17391
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 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 12:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6097.173913
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6097.173913
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6097.17391304
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.

After the division, we end up with 6097.17391304 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
