16173 divided by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 16173 can be divided by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 46

Step 2:
When dividing 16 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 161 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
161 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 138 from 161 leaves us with 23.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 237 / 46

On to step 4:
If we divide 237 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtracting 230 from 237 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 goes into 73 1 times with a remainder of 27.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 351.0
Deduct 46 from 73 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
270 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 351.5
If we take 230 away from 270, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
46 goes into 400 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 351.58
If we take 368 away from 400, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 351.586
Subtract 276 from 320 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 351.5869
Subtract 414 from 440 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 351.58695
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351.586956
If we take 276 away from 300, 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.

Advancing to step 12:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351.5869565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up 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.

Step 13:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 351.58695652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Our division results in 351.58695652 with a remaining 8e-09.
