Let's divide 662742 by 46
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 662742.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 46

On to step 2:
46 can be fit into 66 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 66 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 202 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 202 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 184 from 202, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 187 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 187 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 144.0
Subtracting 184 from 187 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 34 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1440.0
If we take 0 away from 34, we end up with 34.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 342 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 goes into 342 7 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 14407.0
If we take 322 away from 342, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14407.4
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14407.43
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.

Advancing to step 9:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14407.434
Subtract 184 from 220 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 14407.4347
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14407.43478
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:
46 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14407.434782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14407.4347826
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14407.4347826
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 14407.4347826, and the remainder is 4e-08.
