We're dividing 161517 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 161517.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 161 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 161 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 138 from 161 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 235 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 235 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 230 from 235.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 51 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351.0
Subtracting 46 from 51 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 46

On to step 6:
When dividing 57 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3511.0
If we take 46 away from 57, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 46, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3511.2
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 180 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3511.23
Subtracting 138 from 180 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 9:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3511.239
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 60 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3511.2391
Deduct 46 from 60 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3511.23913
Subtracting 138 from 140 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3511.23913
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left 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 13:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3511.2391304
Subtracting 184 from 200 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3511.23913043
If we subtract 138 from 160, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3511.23913043 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
