We're dividing 256387 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 256387.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 256 / 46

On to step 3:
If we divide 256 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 230 from 256, we get 26.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 263 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 goes into 263 5 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 230 from 263.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 338 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
338 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 557.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 322 from 338.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 goes into 167 3 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5573.0
If we subtract 138 from 167, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5573.6
Deduct 276 from 290 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5573.63
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5573.63
Subtract 0 from 20 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 200 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5573.6304
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5573.63043
If we subtract 138 from 160, 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5573.630434
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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5573.6304347
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5573.63043478
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.

Our division results in 5573.63043478 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
