Let's divide 491072 by 46
We want to divide 491072 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 46

Step 2:
If we divide 49 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 49 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 31 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 31 to get 31.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 310 / 46

On to step 4:
If we divide 310 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
Deduct 276 from 310 and we're left with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 46

On to step 5:
46 goes into 347 7 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1067.0
Subtract 322 from 347 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 252 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
46 can be fit into 252 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10675.0
If we subtract 230 from 252, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10675.4
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 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 8:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10675.47
If we take 322 away from 360, we end up 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 9:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10675.478
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10675.4782
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 92 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10675.47826
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10675.47826
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10675.4782608
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10675.47826086
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10675.47826086 with a remaining 4.4e-08.
