We look at the division of 993172 by 46 
We want to figure out the number of times 993172 can be divided by 46.

Let's proceed to step 1:
46 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 46

Moving on to step 2:
46 goes into 99 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 92 from 99, we get 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 46

Step 3:
73 divided by 46 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 46 from 73.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 271 / 46

Let's proceed to step 4:
271 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 215.0
Subtract 230 from 271 to get 41.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 417 / 46

Step 5:
46 goes into 417 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2159.0
If we take 414 away from 417, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 32 / 46

Step 6:
If we divide 32 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 32.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21590.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 0 from 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 46 fits into 320 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21590.6
Deduct 276 from 320 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
The number 46 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21590.69
Subtracting 414 from 440 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21590.695
Subtract 230 from 260 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 46 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21590.6956
If we subtract 276 from 300, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 46, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 21590.69565
Subtract 230 from 240 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 100 by 46, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21590.695652
If we subtract 92 from 100, we 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 80 by 46, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21590.6956521
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 46 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
340 divided by 46 is 7 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21590.69565217
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 322 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21590.69565217 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
