We divide 589208 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 589208 can be divided by 46.

Step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 46

On to step 2:
46 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 58, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 can be fit into 129 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 92 away from 129, we end up with 37.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 372 / 46

Step 4:
When dividing 372 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtracting 368 from 372 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 46

Step 5:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1280.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 408 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12808.0
Deduct 368 from 408 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12808.8
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.

Step 8:
46 goes into 320 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12808.86
If we take 276 away from 320, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12808.869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12808.8695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12808.86956
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12808.869565
Subtracting 230 from 240 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12808.8695652
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12808.86956521
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 46 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12808.86956521 and a remainder of 3.4e-08.
