Let's divide 255736 by 46
Our goal is to divide 255736 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
255 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 255, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 46

On to step 4:
46 goes into 257 5 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 230 away from 257, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 273 / 46

On to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 273 5 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 555.0
Subtracting 230 from 273 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 436 / 46

On to step 6:
436 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 22.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5559.0
If we take 414 away from 436, 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 7:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5559.4
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.

On to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5559.47
If we take 322 away from 360, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5559.478
If we subtract 368 from 380, we 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.

On to step 10:
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: 5559.4782
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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5559.47826
If we subtract 276 from 280, we 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.

Moving on to step 12:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5559.47826
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5559.4782608
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5559.47826086
Subtract 276 from 320 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 5559.47826086, and the remainder is 4.4e-08.
