We divide 869258 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 869258.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
86 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 40.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 86 and we're left with 40.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 409 / 46

Step 3:
If we divide 409 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 41.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 368 from 409 to get 41.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 412 / 46

Step 4:
The number 46 fits into 412 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 188.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 368 from 412.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 445 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 goes into 445 9 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1889.0
Subtracting 414 from 445 leaves us with 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 46

On to step 6:
When dividing 318 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 18896.0
Subtracting 276 from 318 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.

On to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18896.9
Subtract 414 from 420 to get 6.
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 8:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18896.91
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
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 9:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18896.913
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 18896.913
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 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 11:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18896.91304
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18896.913043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 18896.9130434
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18896.91304347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18896.91304347 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
