We divide 869587 by 46
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 869587.

On to step 1:
46 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 86 1 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 86 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 409 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 409 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 368 from 409.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 415 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 can be fit into 415 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 189.0
Subtract 414 from 415 to get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1890.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 187 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 can be fit into 187 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18904.0
Subtract 184 from 187 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
46 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18904.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18904.06
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 276 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18904.065
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18904.0652
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18904.06521
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.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18904.065217
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 322 from 340.
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 13:
46 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18904.0652173
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 14:
46 can be fit into 420 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18904.06521739
Deduct 414 from 420 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18904.06521739 and a remainder of 6e-09.
