Let's divide 538515 by 46
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 538515.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 46

Step 2:
46 goes into 53 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 53, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Deduct 46 from 78 and we're left with 32.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 325 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
325 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 117.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 322 from 325.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 goes into 31 0 times with a remainder of 31.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1170.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 0 from 31.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 31, then carry on: 315 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
46 can be fit into 315 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11706.0
Subtract 276 from 315 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 390 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11706.8
Subtract 368 from 390 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.

Advancing to step 8:
220 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11706.84
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 360 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11706.847
Subtract 322 from 360 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11706.8478
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 368 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11706.84782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 11706.847826
Subtracting 276 from 280 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
40 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11706.847826
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11706.84782608
Deduct 368 from 400 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 11706.84782608 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
