We divide 251851 by 46
Our goal is to divide 251851 by 46.

Step 1:
46 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
25 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 251 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 251 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 251, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 can be fit into 218 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 184 from 218 and we're left with 34.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 345 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
345 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 547.0
If we take 322 away from 345, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 231 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5475.0
If we take 230 away from 231, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
46 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5475.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5475.02
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5475.021
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5475.0217
Subtracting 322 from 340 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 180 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5475.02173
Subtract 138 from 180 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 420 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5475.021739
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 414 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5475.0217391
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On 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: 5475.02173913
If we take 138 away from 140, we end up with 2.
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 5475.02173913 with a remaining 2e-09.
