We're dividing 731447 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 731447 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 73 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
46 goes into 73 1 times with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 73 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
271 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 230 from 271 and we're left with 41.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 414 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 414 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we take 414 away from 414, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
4 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1590.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 46

Step 6:
When dividing 47 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15901.0
Subtract 46 from 47 to 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.

Moving on to step 7:
46 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15901.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15901.02
Subtracting 92 from 100 leaves us 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:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15901.021
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15901.0217
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.

On 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: 15901.02173
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 420 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15901.021739
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:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15901.0217391
Subtract 46 from 60 to 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:
46 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15901.02173913
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.

The final outcome is 15901.02173913, with a leftover of 2e-09.
