We look at the division of 172247 by 74 
We want to divide 172247 by 74.

Step 1:
74 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 74

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 74 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 172 / 74

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 74 fits into 172 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 148 from 172 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 74

Moving on to step 4:
74 goes into 242 3 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 222 from 242, we get 20.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 204 / 74

On to step 5:
74 goes into 204 2 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 232.0
If we subtract 148 from 204, we get 56.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 567 / 74

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 567 by 74, we get 7 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2327.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 518 from 567.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
490 divided by 74 is 6 with a remainder of 46.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2327.6
Subtracting 444 from 490 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 460 by 74, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2327.66
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 444 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2327.66, and the remainder is 0.016.
