Let's divide 878961 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 878961.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 87 leaves us with 41.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 418 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
46 goes into 418 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 414 from 418 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
49 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 191.0
If we take 46 away from 49, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
46 goes into 36 0 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1910.0
If we take 0 away from 36, we end up with 36.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 361 / 46

On to step 6:
361 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 39.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19107.0
Subtracting 322 from 361 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 19107.8
Subtract 368 from 390 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19107.84
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us 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:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19107.847
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19107.8478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19107.84782
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19107.847826
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19107.847826
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19107.84782608
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 19107.84782608 with a balance of 3.2e-08.
