We divide 171308 by 46
Let's see how many times 46 fits into 171308.

Going ahead to step 1:
46 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 46

On to step 2:
17 divided by 46 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 46

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.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 333 / 46

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 333 by 46, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 322 from 333 and we're left with 11.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 110 / 46

Moving on to step 5:
46 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 372.0
Deduct 92 from 110 and we're left with 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 188 / 46

Let's proceed to step 6:
46 goes into 188 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3724.0
Subtracting 184 from 188 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3724.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
400 divided by 46 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3724.08
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3724.086
Subtracting 276 from 320 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 3724.0869
If we subtract 414 from 440, we get 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 11:
When dividing 260 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3724.08695
Deduct 230 from 260 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 300 by 46, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3724.086956
If we take 276 away from 300, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 240 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3724.0869565
Deduct 230 from 240 and we're left 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.

Step 14:
46 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3724.08695652
Subtract 92 from 100 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3724.08695652 with a balance of 8e-09.
