We divide 178959 by 46
We want to divide 178959 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 46

On to step 3:
46 can be fit into 178 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 138 from 178, we get 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 goes into 409 8 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 368 from 409 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 415 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 415 by 46, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 389.0
If we take 414 away from 415, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 19 0 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3890.0
If we subtract 0 from 19, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
46 can be fit into 190 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3890.4
Deduct 184 from 190 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
60 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3890.41
Subtract 46 from 60 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3890.413
Subtract 138 from 140 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3890.413
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.

Advancing to step 11:
46 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3890.41304
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.

Moving on to step 12:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3890.413043
Subtract 138 from 160 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3890.4130434
Deduct 184 from 220 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3890.41304347
If we take 322 away from 360, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3890.41304347 with a balance of 3.8e-08.
