Let's divide 300972 by 46
We want to divide 300972 by 46.

Moving on 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
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 30 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 30 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 300 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 can be fit into 249 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we take 230 away from 249, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
197 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 654.0
If we subtract 184 from 197, we get 13.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 132 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 132 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6542.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 92 from 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6542.8
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6542.86
Subtracting 276 from 320 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6542.869
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 414 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6542.8695
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6542.86956
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.

On to step 12:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6542.869565
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 230 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 6542.8695652
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6542.86956521
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.

The final result is 6542.86956521 with a remainder of 3.4e-08.
