We look at the division of 170671 by 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 170671.

On to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 170 / 46

Step 3:
46 goes into 170 3 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 138 from 170 to get 32.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 326 / 46

Step 4:
46 goes into 326 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 322 from 326, we get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
46 can be fit into 47 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 371.0
Deduct 46 from 47 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 46

On to step 6:
The number 46 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3710.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3710.2
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
46 goes into 180 3 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3710.23
Subtracting 138 from 180 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
46 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3710.239
If we take 414 away from 420, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3710.2391
Subtracting 46 from 60 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3710.23913
Deduct 138 from 140 and we're left with 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 12:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3710.23913
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3710.2391304
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 14:
46 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3710.23913043
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.

The final result is 3710.23913043 with a remainder of 2.2e-08.
