We look at the division of 171011 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 171011 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
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 46

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 171 / 46

Going ahead to step 3:
46 can be fit into 171 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 138 from 171.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 330 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
330 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 322 away from 330, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 81 / 46

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 46 fits into 81 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 371.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 46 from 81.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 351 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 351 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3717.0
Deduct 322 from 351 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
290 divided by 46 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3717.6
If we take 276 away from 290, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
46 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3717.63
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.

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: 3717.63
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.

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: 3717.6304
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 184 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
160 divided by 46 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3717.63043
If we take 138 away from 160, we end up 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 12:
When dividing 220 by 46, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3717.630434
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 46 fits into 360 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3717.6304347
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 380 by 46, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3717.63043478
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 368 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3717.63043478 with a remaining 1.2e-08.
