Let's divide 541977 by 46
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 541977.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 46

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 46 from 54.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 goes into 81 1 times with a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 46 from 81.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 359 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
359 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
Subtract 322 from 359 to get 37.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 377 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 377 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1178.0
Subtracting 368 from 377 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 46

On to step 6:
97 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11782.0
Deduct 92 from 97 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11782.1
Deduct 46 from 50 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11782.1
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11782.108
If we subtract 368 from 400, we get 32.
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 10:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11782.1086
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11782.10869
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11782.108695
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left 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.

Step 13:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11782.1086956
If we take 276 away from 300, we end up with 24.
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 14:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11782.10869565
Subtract 230 from 240 to 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.

The final outcome is 11782.10869565, with a leftover of 1e-08.
