We're dividing 71216 by 46 
We want to divide 71216 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 71 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 71 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 252 / 46

On to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 252 5 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 230 from 252 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 221 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
46 can be fit into 221 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154.0
Deduct 184 from 221 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 376 / 46

Step 5:
The number 46 fits into 376 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1548.0
Deduct 368 from 376 and we're left 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 6:
The number 46 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1548.1
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us 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 7:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1548.17
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
46 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1548.173
Subtract 138 from 180 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1548.1739
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 414 from 420.
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 10:
When dividing 60 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1548.17391
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1548.173913
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1548.173913
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 13:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1548.17391304
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.

Our division results in 1548.17391304 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
