40711 divided by 46 
We want to divide 40711 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
46 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 407 / 46

On to step 3:
46 goes into 407 8 times with a remainder of 39.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 368 from 407.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 391 / 46

On to step 4:
46 goes into 391 8 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 368 from 391 and we're left with 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 46

On to step 5:
When dividing 231 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 885.0
Deduct 230 from 231 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
10 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 885.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 885.02
Subtract 92 from 100 to get 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 8:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 885.021
Deduct 46 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 885.0217
Subtract 322 from 340 to get 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 10:
46 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 885.02173
If we subtract 138 from 180, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 885.021739
If we subtract 414 from 420, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 885.0217391
Deduct 46 from 60 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.

Step 13:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 885.02173913
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.

The final result is 885.02173913 with a remainder of 2e-09.
