We divide 117040 by 46
Our goal is to divide 117040 by 46.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 46

Step 2:
When dividing 11 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 11 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 46

On to step 3:
When dividing 117 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 92 from 117 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 250 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 250 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 230 from 250 and we're left with 20.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 204 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 goes into 204 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 254.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 184 from 204.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 200 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2544.0
If we subtract 184 from 200, we 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.

On to step 7:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2544.3
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2544.34
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 9:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2544.347
Subtract 322 from 360 to get 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 10:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2544.3478
Subtract 368 from 380 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2544.34782
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.

Step 12:
46 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2544.347826
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2544.347826
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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 14:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2544.34782608
If we subtract 368 from 400, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2544.34782608 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
