We look at the division of 397253 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 397253 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 39 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 397 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 397 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 29.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 368 from 397, we get 29.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 292 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 292 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 86.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 276 from 292.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 165 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 863.0
Deduct 138 from 165 and we're left with 27.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 273 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 273 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8635.0
If we take 230 away from 273, we end up with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 430 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8635.9
If we take 414 away from 430, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8635.93
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.

Advancing to step 9:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8635.934
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up 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 10:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8635.9347
If we subtract 322 from 360, we 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8635.93478
Deduct 368 from 380 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8635.934782
Subtract 92 from 120 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 280 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8635.9347826
Subtracting 276 from 280 leaves us with 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 14:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8635.9347826
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8635.9347826 with a remaining 4e-08.
