Answer:

1.195652174

Explanation:

The first step is to set up our division problem with the divisor on the left side and the dividend on the right side, like we have it below

We can work out that the divisor (46) goes into the first digit of the dividend (5), 0 time(s). Now we know that, we can put 0 at the top

If we multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (46 x 0 = 0), we can now add that answer below the dividend

Next, we will subtract the result from the previous step from the second digit of the dividend (5 - 0 = 5) and write that answer below

Move the second digit of the dividend (5) down like so

The divisor (46) goes into the bottom number (55), 1 time(s), so we can put 1 on top

If we multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (46 x 1 = 46), we can now add that answer below the dividend

Next, we will subtract the result from the previous step from the third digit of the dividend (55 - 46 = 9) and write that answer below
