51178 divided by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 51178.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 46 from 51.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 51 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
51 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 46 from 51.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 111.0
If we take 46 away from 57, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 46

Step 5:
118 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1112.0
If we subtract 92 from 118, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1112.5
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1112.56
If we take 276 away from 300, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1112.565
If we subtract 230 from 240, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1112.5652
Subtract 92 from 100 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1112.56521
Deduct 46 from 80 and we're left with 34.
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 11:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1112.565217
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1112.5652173
Subtracting 138 from 180 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.

Moving on to step 13:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1112.56521739
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.

After the division, we end up with 1112.56521739 and a remainder of 6e-09.
