We're dividing 531473 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 531473 can be divided by 46.

Step 1:
46 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
53 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 46 from 53, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 71 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 46 away from 71, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 254 5 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 115.0
Subtracting 230 from 254 leaves us with 24.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 247 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
247 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1155.0
Subtracting 230 from 247 leaves us with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 173 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11553.0
Deduct 138 from 173 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11553.7
If we take 322 away from 350, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11553.76
Deduct 276 from 280 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.

On to step 9:
The number 46 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 11553.76
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11553.7608
Subtracting 368 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 11:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 11553.76086
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 276 from 320.
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 12:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11553.760869
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
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: 11553.7608695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11553.76086956
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 11553.76086956 with a remainder of 2.4e-08.
