Let's divide 171743 by 46
We want to figure out the number of times 171743 can be divided by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
46 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
46 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 171 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 138 from 171, we get 33.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 337 / 46

Advancing to step 4:
337 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 322 from 337.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 154 / 46

Step 5:
When dividing 154 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 373.0
Deduct 138 from 154 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 163 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 163 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3733.0
Subtract 138 from 163 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 250 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3733.5
Deduct 230 from 250 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3733.54
If we take 184 away from 200, we end up with 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:
When dividing 160 by 46, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3733.543
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 138 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3733.5434
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.

On to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3733.54347
If we subtract 322 from 360, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
380 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3733.543478
Subtracting 368 from 380 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 13:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3733.5434782
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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 280 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3733.54347826
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3733.54347826, and the remainder is 4e-09.
