Let's divide 165297 by 46
We want to divide 165297 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 46

Step 3:
If we divide 165 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 138 from 165 to get 27.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 272 / 46

On to step 4:
272 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 230 from 272, we get 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 goes into 429 9 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 359.0
Subtracting 414 from 429 leaves us with 15.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 157 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 157 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3593.0
Subtract 138 from 157 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3593.4
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3593.41
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3593.413
Subtract 138 from 140 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
46 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3593.413
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3593.41304
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3593.413043
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.

Step 13:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3593.4130434
If we subtract 184 from 220, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3593.41304347
Deduct 322 from 360 and we're left 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.

The final result is 3593.41304347 with a remainder of 3.8e-08.
