We're dividing 873588 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 873588.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 46 from 87 to get 41.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 413 / 46

On to step 3:
If we divide 413 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 45.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 368 from 413 and we're left with 45.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 455 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 goes into 455 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 189.0
If we subtract 414 from 455, we get 41.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 418 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
418 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1899.0
Subtracting 414 from 418 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 46

Step 6:
If we divide 48 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18991.0
If we subtract 46 from 48, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18991.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 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 8:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18991.04
If we subtract 184 from 200, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18991.043
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 18991.0434
Subtracting 184 from 220 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18991.04347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18991.043478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
120 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18991.0434782
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18991.04347826
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 18991.04347826, with a leftover of 4e-09.
