46542562 ÷ 172 
Our goal is to divide 46542562 by 172.

Advancing to step 1:
172 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 172

Moving on to step 2:
The number 172 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 46, we get 46.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 465 / 172

Advancing to step 3:
The number 172 fits into 465 2 times, leaving a remainder of 121.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 344 from 465, we get 121.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 121 and repeat the process: 1214 / 172

Step 4:
172 can be fit into 1214 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 1204 from 1214.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 102 / 172

On to step 5:
102 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 102.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 270.0
Subtracting 0 from 102 leaves us with 102.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 102, then repeat: 1025 / 172

On to step 6:
When dividing 1025 by 172, we get 5 with a remainder of 165.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2705.0
Subtracting 860 from 1025 leaves us with 165.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1656 / 172

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 1656 by 172, we get 9 and a remainder of 108.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27059.0
Subtracting 1548 from 1656 leaves us with 108.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 108, then repeat: 1082 / 172

On to step 8:
172 can be fit into 1082 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 270596.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 1032 from 1082.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 172 fits into 500 2 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 270596.2
The remainder is 156 after subtracting 344 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
172 goes into 1560 9 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 270596.29
Subtracting 1548 from 1560 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 120.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 270596.29
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
172 goes into 1200 6 times with a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 270596.2906
Subtracting 1032 from 1200 leaves us with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
172 goes into 1680 9 times with a remainder of 132.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 270596.29069
Subtract 1548 from 1680 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 172 fits into 1320 7 times, leaving a remainder of 116.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 270596.290697
If we take 1204 away from 1320, we end up with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
172 can be fit into 1160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 270596.2906976
Subtract 1032 from 1160 to get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 172 fits into 1280 7 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 270596.29069767
Subtracting 1204 from 1280 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 270596.29069767, with a leftover of 7.6e-08.
