We divide 450042 by 46
We want to divide 450042 by 46.

On to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
45 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 45.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 450 / 46

Step 3:
46 goes into 450 9 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 414 from 450 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 360 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtract 322 from 360 to get 38.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 38 and continue: 384 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 384 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 978.0
If we subtract 368 from 384, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
162 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 24.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9783.0
If we take 138 away from 162, 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9783.5
Subtracting 230 from 240 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9783.52
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 9:
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: 9783.521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 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 10:
46 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9783.5217
If we take 322 away from 340, we end up 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:
The number 46 fits into 180 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9783.52173
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.

On to step 12:
420 divided by 46 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9783.521739
Subtract 414 from 420 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 9783.5217391
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9783.52173913
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 9783.52173913 and a remainder of 2e-09.
