28172 divided by 46 
Our goal is to divide 28172 by 46.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 46

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 281 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 5.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 276 from 281 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 57 / 46

On to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 57 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 46 from 57.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 112 / 46

On to step 5:
112 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 612.0
If we take 92 away from 112, we end up 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 6:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 612.4
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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 612.43
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 8:
If we divide 220 by 46, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 612.434
Deduct 184 from 220 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
360 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 612.4347
Subtract 322 from 360 to 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 10:
46 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 612.43478
If we take 368 away from 380, we end up 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.

Step 11:
When dividing 120 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 612.434782
Deduct 92 from 120 and we're left with 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 12:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 612.4347826
Subtract 276 from 280 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 612.4347826
Subtract 0 from 40 to 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.

The final outcome is 612.4347826, with a leftover of 4e-08.
