Let's divide 242792 by 46
Our goal is to divide 242792 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
24 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 230 from 242.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
127 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we take 92 away from 127, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 46

Step 5:
When dividing 359 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 527.0
If we subtract 322 from 359, we get 37.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 372 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 372 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5278.0
Deduct 368 from 372 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5278.0
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 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 8:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5278.08
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5278.086
If we subtract 276 from 320, we 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.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5278.0869
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 414 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5278.08695
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5278.086956
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5278.0869565
Deduct 230 from 240 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5278.08695652
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5278.08695652 and a remainder of 8e-09.
