We divide 240587 by 46
We want to divide 240587 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 46

On to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 240 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 105 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
105 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 92 from 105, we get 13.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 138 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 138 3 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 523.0
Subtract 138 from 138 to get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 7 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5230.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 goes into 70 1 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5230.1
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 46 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5230.15
If we subtract 230 from 240, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5230.152
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
46 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5230.1521
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5230.15217
If we take 322 away from 340, 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.

Advancing to step 12:
46 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5230.152173
If we subtract 138 from 180, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5230.1521739
Subtract 414 from 420 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5230.15217391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5230.15217391, with a leftover of 1.4e-08.
