Let's divide 283821 by 46
Our goal is to divide 283821 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
28 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 283 / 46

Step 3:
When dividing 283 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 276 from 283 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 46

Step 4:
If we divide 78 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtracting 46 from 78 leaves us with 32.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 322 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 322 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 617.0
Subtracting 322 from 322 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 46

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 1 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6170.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
10 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6170.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
46 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6170.02
Deduct 92 from 100 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6170.021
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 46 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6170.0217
Deduct 322 from 340 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 11:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6170.02173
If we take 138 away from 180, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6170.021739
Subtracting 414 from 420 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6170.0217391
If we subtract 46 from 60, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6170.02173913
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 138 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6170.02173913 with a remaining 2e-09.
