We look at the division of 142920 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 142920 can be divided by 46.

Step 1:
1 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
14 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 142 / 46

Step 3:
46 can be fit into 142 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 138 away from 142, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 46

Moving on to step 4:
The number 46 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 46 from 49 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 46

On to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 32 0 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 310.0
Subtracting 0 from 32 leaves us with 32.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 32, then carry on: 320 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 320 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3106.0
If we take 276 away from 320, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
46 can be fit into 440 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3106.9
If we take 414 away from 440, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
46 can be fit into 260 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3106.95
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 9:
46 goes into 300 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3106.956
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3106.9565
If we take 230 away from 240, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3106.95652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we 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.

Advancing to step 12:
80 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3106.956521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3106.9565217
Deduct 322 from 340 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
46 can be fit into 180 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3106.95652173
Deduct 138 from 180 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 3106.95652173 and a remainder of 4.2e-08.
