We're dividing 785172 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 785172 can be divided by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 46

Step 2:
When dividing 78 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 78 and we're left with 32.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 325 / 46

Step 3:
46 can be fit into 325 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 322 from 325, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 31 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 31.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170.0
If we take 0 away from 31, we end up with 31.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 317 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
317 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 41.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1706.0
If we take 276 away from 317, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 412 / 46

On to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 412 8 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17068.0
Subtract 368 from 412 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.

Step 7:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17068.9
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 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 8:
The number 46 fits into 260 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17068.95
If we take 230 away from 260, we end up with 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 9:
The number 46 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17068.956
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
240 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17068.9565
Deduct 230 from 240 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17068.95652
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
46 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17068.956521
If we take 46 away from 80, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
46 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17068.9565217
If we subtract 322 from 340, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
180 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17068.95652173
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 138 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

The final result is 17068.95652173 with a remainder of 4.2e-08.
