We look at the division of 170252 by 46 
Our goal is to divide 170252 by 46.

Moving on to step 1:
46 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 46

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 170 / 46

Step 3:
46 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 322 / 46

On to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 322 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 322 from 322 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 46

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 5 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 370.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 52 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3701.0
If we subtract 46 from 52, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 60 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3701.1
If we take 46 away from 60, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
140 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3701.13
If we subtract 138 from 140, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
46 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3701.13
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us 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.

On to step 10:
200 divided by 46 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3701.1304
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 11:
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: 3701.13043
If we subtract 138 from 160, we 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.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 220 4 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3701.130434
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.

Moving on to step 13:
46 goes into 360 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3701.1304347
Subtracting 322 from 360 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
46 can be fit into 380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3701.13043478
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.

The quotient of the division is 3701.13043478, and the remainder is 1.2e-08.
