We look at the division of 173046 by 55 
Our goal is to divide 173046 by 55.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 55

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 55 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 173 / 55

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 173 by 55, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 165 from 173 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 80 / 55

Going ahead to step 4:
55 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 55 away from 80, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 55

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 254 by 55, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 314.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 220 from 254.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 346 / 55

On to step 6:
346 divided by 55 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3146.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 330 from 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 55, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3146.2
Subtract 110 from 160 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 55, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3146.29
Subtracting 495 from 500 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 55 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3146.29
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
55 can be fit into 500 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3146.2909
Subtract 495 from 500 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
55 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3146.2909
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
500 divided by 55 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3146.290909
If we take 495 away from 500, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 50 by 55, we get 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3146.290909
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 500 by 55, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3146.29090909
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 495 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3146.29090909 with a balance of 5e-09.
