Let's divide 579059 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 579059 can be divided by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 57 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 57, we get 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
119 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 27.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 92 from 119 leaves us with 27.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 270 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 125.0
Subtract 230 from 270 to get 40.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 405 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 405 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1258.0
Subtract 368 from 405 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 379 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 can be fit into 379 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12588.0
Subtract 368 from 379 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12588.2
Subtract 92 from 110 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 12588.23
Deduct 138 from 180 and we're left 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 9:
420 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12588.239
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12588.2391
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12588.23913
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us 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 12:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12588.23913
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12588.2391304
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 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 14:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12588.23913043
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.

After the division, we end up with 12588.23913043 and a remainder of 2.2e-08.
