We divide 488957 by 46
We want to divide 488957 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 48 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 28 to get 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 goes into 289 6 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106.0
Subtracting 276 from 289 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 135 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 135 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 43.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1062.0
Subtracting 92 from 135 leaves us with 43.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 437 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 437 9 times with a remainder of 23.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10629.0
If we take 414 away from 437, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10629.5
Deduct 230 from 230 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10629.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10629.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 10629.5 with a remaining 0.0.
