We divide 71917 by 46
Our goal is to divide 71917 by 46.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 46, we get 1 and a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 46 from 71.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 259 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 259 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 230 from 259 to get 29.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 291 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
46 goes into 291 6 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 156.0
Subtract 276 from 291 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
46 goes into 157 3 times with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1563.0
If we subtract 138 from 157, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 190 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1563.4
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 184 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1563.41
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 46, we get 3 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1563.413
Subtract 138 from 140 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 46, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1563.413
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
46 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1563.41304
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 46 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1563.413043
Subtracting 138 from 160 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
46 can be fit into 220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1563.4130434
If we take 184 away from 220, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
46 can be fit into 360 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1563.41304347
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 322 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1563.41304347, with a leftover of 3.8e-08.
