ANSWER: Between the 7 and the 8

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

      _____

1.7 | 45.78

We want to make the 1.7 into a whole number. We do this by moving the decimal 1 space to the right and since we move the decimal one space on the divisor, we need to move the decimal 1 space on the dividend.

so your problem would now be :

    ______

17 | 457.8
