We look at the division of 232609 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 232609.

Step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 232 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 232 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 230 from 232 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 260 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 505.0
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 309 / 46

On to step 6:
When dividing 309 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5056.0
Deduct 276 from 309 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5056.7
Subtract 322 from 330 to 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.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5056.71
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5056.717
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 180 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5056.7173
If we subtract 138 from 180, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5056.71739
Deduct 414 from 420 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5056.717391
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.

Step 13:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5056.7173913
Subtracting 138 from 140 leaves us with 2.
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 14:
46 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5056.7173913
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 5056.7173913, and the remainder is 2e-08.
