Let's divide 178591 by 46
Our goal is to divide 178591 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 46

Step 2:
The number 46 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 178 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 178 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 138 from 178 to get 40.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 405 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 405 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 368 from 405 to get 37.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 379 / 46

Step 5:
46 goes into 379 8 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 388.0
If we subtract 368 from 379, we get 11.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 111 / 46

Step 6:
When dividing 111 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3882.0
If we take 92 away from 111, we end up with 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:
46 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3882.4
If we take 184 away from 190, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3882.41
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3882.413
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3882.413
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 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 11:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3882.41304
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3882.413043
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3882.4130434
Subtract 184 from 220 to 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:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3882.41304347
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.

Our division results in 3882.41304347 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
