We're dividing 248962 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 248962.

Step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
248 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 248, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 189 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 189 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 184 from 189 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 56 / 46

On to step 5:
46 goes into 56 1 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 541.0
If we subtract 46 from 56, we get 10.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 102 / 46

Step 6:
46 can be fit into 102 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5412.0
Subtracting 92 from 102 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5412.2
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5412.21
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5412.217
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 10:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5412.2173
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 138 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 420 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5412.21739
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.

Step 12:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5412.217391
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5412.2173913
If we take 138 away from 140, 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 14:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5412.2173913
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.

The final outcome is 5412.2173913, with a leftover of 2e-08.
