We're dividing 972635 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 972635 can be divided by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 can be fit into 97 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 92 from 97, we get 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 46

Step 3:
When dividing 52 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 46 from 52, we get 6.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 66 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 66 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 211.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 46 from 66.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 203 / 46

Step 5:
46 can be fit into 203 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2114.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 184 from 203.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 195 / 46

On to step 6:
When dividing 195 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21144.0
Subtract 184 from 195 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21144.2
If we take 92 away from 110, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21144.23
Subtracting 138 from 180 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 420 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 21144.239
If we subtract 414 from 420, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21144.2391
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
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 11:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21144.23913
If we subtract 138 from 140, we 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 12:
If we divide 20 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21144.23913
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21144.2391304
Deduct 184 from 200 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 14:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21144.23913043
Subtract 138 from 160 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21144.23913043 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
