Let's divide 740469 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 740469.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 46

On to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 74, we get 28.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 280 / 46

Step 3:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 46

Step 4:
If we divide 44 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 160.0
If we subtract 0 from 44, we get 44.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 446 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 446 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1609.0
Deduct 414 from 446 and we're left with 32.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 329 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 goes into 329 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16097.0
If we subtract 322 from 329, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
70 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16097.1
Subtract 46 from 70 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16097.15
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16097.152
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 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 10:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16097.1521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16097.15217
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 16097.152173
Deduct 138 from 180 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 420 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16097.1521739
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 14:
The number 46 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16097.15217391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16097.15217391 and a remainder of 1.4e-08.
