If the original cell has 46 chromosomes, the only possible way for the daughter cells to also have 46 chromosomes is if the division is mitosis.
Mitosis is referred to as equational division because the daughter cells produced are similar to the parent cell both morphologically and genetically.
Thus, if a cell has 46 chromosomes and divides by mitosis, the daughter cells would also have 46 chromosomes.
This is unlike division by meiosis in which the chromosome number of the parent cell is halved in the daughter cells. For example, if a cell with 46 chromosomes divides by meiosis, the daughter cells will have 23 chromosomes each, instead of 46.
