Let's divide 589049 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 589049 can be divided by 46.

Step 1:
5 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 46 from 58.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 129 / 46

On to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 129 2 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 92 from 129 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 370 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 370 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 128.0
Deduct 368 from 370 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 24 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1280.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 249 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 can be fit into 249 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12805.0
Subtract 230 from 249 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12805.4
Subtracting 184 from 190 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
46 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12805.41
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.

On to step 9:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12805.413
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12805.413
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12805.41304
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12805.413043
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12805.4130434
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12805.41304347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12805.41304347 and a remainder of 3.8e-08.
