We look at the division of 869738 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 869738.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 46 from 86 leaves us with 40.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 46

Step 3:
The number 46 fits into 409 8 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 368 from 409.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 417 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 417 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 189.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 414 from 417.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 33 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1890.0
Subtract 0 from 33 to get 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
338 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18907.0
If we subtract 322 from 338, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18907.3
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 18907.34
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
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 9:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18907.347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18907.3478
Subtract 368 from 380 to 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18907.34782
If we take 92 away from 120, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
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: 18907.347826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18907.347826
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18907.34782608
Subtract 368 from 400 to 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.

Our division results in 18907.34782608 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
