We look at the division of 172955 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 172955 can be divided by 46.

On to step 1:
46 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 46

On to step 2:
46 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 172 / 46

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 172 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 138 from 172 leaves us with 34.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 349 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 goes into 349 7 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 322 from 349, we get 27.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 275 / 46

On to step 5:
275 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 375.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 230 from 275.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 455 / 46

Advancing to step 6:
46 can be fit into 455 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3759.0
If we subtract 414 from 455, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 410 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3759.8
Subtracting 368 from 410 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 3759.89
Subtract 414 from 420 to get 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 9:
46 can be fit into 60 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3759.891
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 46 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 46 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3759.8913
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3759.8913
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3759.891304
If we subtract 184 from 200, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
46 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3759.8913043
Deduct 138 from 160 and we're left with 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 14:
46 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3759.89130434
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.

The quotient of the division is 3759.89130434, and the remainder is 3.6e-08.
