We look at the division of 490985 by 46 
We want to divide 490985 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 46 away from 49, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 30 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 309 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
46 goes into 309 6 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 276 from 309.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 338 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1067.0
If we take 322 away from 338, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 165 / 46

On to step 6:
46 goes into 165 3 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10673.0
Subtract 138 from 165 to get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10673.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 230 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10673.58
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.

Step 9:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10673.586
If we subtract 276 from 320, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10673.5869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10673.58695
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10673.586956
If we subtract 276 from 300, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10673.5869565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10673.58695652
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10673.58695652 with a remaining 8e-09.
