We look at the division of 287541 by 46 
We want to divide 287541 by 46.

On to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 287 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
287 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 276 away from 287, we end up with 11.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 115 / 46

Step 4:
115 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 92 from 115, we get 23.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 234 / 46

On to step 5:
If we divide 234 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 625.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 230 from 234.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 41 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 goes into 41 0 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6250.0
If we take 0 away from 41, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6250.8
Subtracting 368 from 410 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 420 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6250.89
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 414 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6250.891
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.

On to step 10:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6250.8913
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
46 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6250.8913
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6250.891304
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6250.8913043
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.

Moving on to step 14:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6250.89130434
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 6250.89130434 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
