We look at the division of 531477 by 46 
We want to divide 531477 by 46.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 53 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 goes into 71 1 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 46 from 71.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 254 / 46

Step 4:
If we divide 254 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
Deduct 230 from 254 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 247 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 247 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1155.0
Subtracting 230 from 247 leaves us with 17.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 177 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
46 goes into 177 3 times with a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11553.0
If we take 138 away from 177, we end up with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
390 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11553.8
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 368 from 390.
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 8:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11553.84
Deduct 184 from 220 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11553.847
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 10:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11553.8478
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.

On to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11553.84782
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11553.847826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11553.847826
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11553.84782608
Subtracting 368 from 400 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 11553.84782608 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
