78917 divided by 46 
Our goal is to divide 78917 by 46.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 46

On to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 46 from 78 and we're left with 32.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 329 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 goes into 329 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 322 from 329.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 46

Step 4:
When dividing 71 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Subtract 46 from 71 to get 25.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 257 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 257 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 27.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1715.0
If we take 230 away from 257, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
46 goes into 270 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1715.5
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 230 from 270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 400 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1715.58
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 368 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
320 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1715.586
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.

Step 9:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1715.5869
If we subtract 414 from 440, we 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 260 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1715.58695
Subtracting 230 from 260 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 300 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1715.586956
Subtract 276 from 300 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 46 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1715.5869565
Deduct 230 from 240 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1715.58695652
Subtract 92 from 100 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 1715.58695652 and a remainder of 8e-09.
