We look at the division of 588699 by 46 
We want to divide 588699 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 goes into 58 1 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 58, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 46

On to step 3:
128 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 92 from 128 and we're left with 36.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 366 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 366 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we take 322 away from 366, we end up with 44.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 449 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 449 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1279.0
Deduct 414 from 449 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 359 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 359 7 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12797.0
If we take 322 away from 359, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 370 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12797.8
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 368 from 370.
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 8:
46 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12797.8
If we subtract 0 from 20, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12797.804
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12797.8043
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.

Step 11:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12797.80434
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12797.804347
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12797.8043478
If we subtract 368 from 380, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
46 goes into 120 2 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12797.80434782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us 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.

The final outcome is 12797.80434782, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
