253738 divided by 46 
We want to divide 253738 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 253 / 46

Step 3:
46 can be fit into 253 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 230 from 253 and we're left with 23.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 237 / 46

Step 4:
46 can be fit into 237 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 230 from 237 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 73 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 73 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 551.0
Subtracting 46 from 73 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 278 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5516.0
If we take 276 away from 278, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
20 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5516.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5516.04
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.

Step 9:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5516.043
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 10:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5516.0434
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5516.04347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5516.043478
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.

On to step 13:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5516.0434782
If we subtract 92 from 120, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5516.04347826
If we subtract 276 from 280, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5516.04347826 with a balance of 4e-09.
