We're dividing 179678 by 46 
We want to divide 179678 by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 179 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 179 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 41.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 138 from 179 and we're left with 41.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 416 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 416 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
Deduct 414 from 416 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
27 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 390.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 278 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3906.0
If we take 276 away from 278, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3906.0
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.

Step 8:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3906.04
Subtract 184 from 200 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3906.043
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 10:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3906.0434
Subtract 184 from 220 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3906.04347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
46 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3906.043478
If we subtract 368 from 380, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
46 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3906.0434782
If we subtract 92 from 120, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 14:
280 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3906.04347826
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 276 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3906.04347826 with a balance of 4e-09.
