Let's divide 218916 by 46
Our goal is to divide 218916 by 46.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 46

On to step 2:
46 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 218 / 46

On to step 3:
If we divide 218 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 184 away from 218, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 349 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
46 goes into 349 7 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 322 from 349 to get 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 46

On to step 5:
If we divide 271 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 475.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 230 from 271.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 416 / 46

Step 6:
46 goes into 416 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4759.0
Subtracting 414 from 416 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4759.0
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4759.04
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4759.043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4759.0434
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 184 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4759.04347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 4759.043478
Subtracting 368 from 380 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 13:
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: 4759.0434782
If we subtract 92 from 120, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4759.04347826
If we take 276 away from 280, we end up 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.

Our division results in 4759.04347826 with a remaining 4e-09.
