169979 ÷ 46 
We're looking to find how many times 46 goes into 169979.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 46 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 46

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 16 by 46, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 46

Let's proceed to step 3:
46 goes into 169 3 times with a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 138 from 169.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 319 / 46

Step 4:
When dividing 319 by 46, we get 6 with a remainder of 43.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 276 away from 319, we end up with 43.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 437 / 46

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 437 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 369.0
If we subtract 414 from 437, we get 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 46

On to step 6:
If we divide 239 by 46, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3695.0
Subtract 230 from 239 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
46 can be fit into 90 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3695.1
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 46 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 440 by 46, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3695.19
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 414 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
260 divided by 46 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3695.195
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 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: 3695.1956
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
46 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3695.19565
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.

Step 12:
100 divided by 46 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3695.195652
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 92 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
46 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3695.1956521
If we subtract 46 from 80, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 340 by 46, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3695.19565217
If we take 322 away from 340, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3695.19565217, and the remainder is 1.8e-08.
