We divide 170976 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 170976 can be divided by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 46 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 170 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 46 fits into 170 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 138 from 170 leaves us with 32.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 329 / 46

On to step 4:
If we divide 329 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 322 from 329 to get 7.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 46

On to step 5:
46 goes into 77 1 times with a remainder of 31.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 371.0
Subtract 46 from 77 to get 31.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 316 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
316 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3716.0
If we subtract 276 from 316, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3716.8
Deduct 368 from 400 and we're left 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:
46 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3716.86
Subtracting 276 from 320 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3716.869
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3716.8695
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.

Moving on to step 11:
300 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3716.86956
Deduct 276 from 300 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3716.869565
If we subtract 230 from 240, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3716.8695652
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3716.86956521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

The final result is 3716.86956521 with a remainder of 3.4e-08.
