We look at the division of 138083 by 46 
We want to divide 138083 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 13 0 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 46

On to step 3:
46 goes into 138 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 138 from 138 to get 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 46

Step 5:
46 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 300.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
83 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3001.0
Subtract 46 from 83 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3001.8
If we take 368 away from 370, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3001.8
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.

Step 9:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3001.804
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3001.8043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3001.80434
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3001.804347
If we take 322 away from 360, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3001.8043478
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 368 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3001.80434782
Subtract 92 from 120 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3001.80434782 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
