We divide 260400 by 46
Our goal is to divide 260400 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
46 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 46

On to step 2:
46 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 46

Step 3:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 304 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
46 can be fit into 304 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 276 from 304.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 566.0
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 40 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5660.0
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5660.8
Subtract 368 from 400 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5660.86
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left with 44.
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 9:
440 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5660.869
Subtract 414 from 440 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5660.8695
If we subtract 230 from 260, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 11:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5660.86956
If we take 276 away from 300, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
46 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5660.869565
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 230 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5660.8695652
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5660.86956521
Subtracting 46 from 80 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5660.86956521 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
