We're dividing 174609 by 46 
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 174609.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 46, we get 0 and 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 (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 46

On to step 2:
46 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 174 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 138 from 174 and we're left with 36.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 366 / 46

Step 4:
When dividing 366 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 44.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 322 from 366 to get 44.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 440 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 379.0
Deduct 414 from 440 and we're left with 26.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 269 / 46

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 269 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 39.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3795.0
Subtracting 230 from 269 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 7:
390 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3795.8
Subtract 368 from 390 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3795.84
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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3795.847
Subtract 322 from 360 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 380 by 46, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3795.8478
Subtract 368 from 380 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
46 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3795.84782
Subtracting 92 from 120 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
46 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3795.847826
Deduct 276 from 280 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3795.847826
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3795.84782608
Deduct 368 from 400 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 3795.84782608 with a remainder of 3.2e-08.
