We're dividing 262172 by 68 
We want to divide 262172 by 68.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 68, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 68

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 68, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 262 / 68

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 68 fits into 262 3 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 204 from 262 leaves us with 58.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 58, then repeat: 581 / 68

Advancing to step 4:
68 goes into 581 8 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 544 from 581, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 377 / 68

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 68 fits into 377 5 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385.0
If we subtract 340 from 377, we get 37.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 372 / 68

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 68 fits into 372 5 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3855.0
If we subtract 340 from 372, we get 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 7:
The number 68 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3855.4
If we take 272 away from 320, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
68 goes into 480 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3855.47
Subtract 476 from 480 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
68 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3855.47
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 400 by 68, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3855.4705
If we subtract 340 from 400, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
68 can be fit into 600 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3855.47058
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 544 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 560 by 68, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3855.470588
Subtracting 544 from 560 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final result is 3855.470588 with a remainder of 1.6e-06.
