We divide 142735 by 46
We want to divide 142735 by 46.

Step 1:
46 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 142 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
46 can be fit into 142 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 138 from 142.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 goes into 47 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 46 from 47 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 135 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 135 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3102.0
Subtracting 92 from 135 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 430 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3102.9
If we take 414 away from 430, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3102.93
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3102.934
Subtract 184 from 220 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3102.9347
If we take 322 away from 360, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 380 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3102.93478
Deduct 368 from 380 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3102.934782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3102.9347826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
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 14:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3102.9347826
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3102.9347826, with a leftover of 4e-08.
