2759970 divided by 172 
We want to figure out the number of times 2759970 can be divided by 172.

Advancing to step 1:
172 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 172

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 275 / 172

On to step 3:
172 can be fit into 275 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 103.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 172 from 275 and we're left with 103.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 103 and continue with: 1039 / 172

Step 4:
When dividing 1039 by 172, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 1032 from 1039 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 172

Going ahead to step 5:
172 goes into 79 0 times with a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 0 from 79.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 79 and continue: 797 / 172

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 797 by 172, we get 4 with a remainder of 109.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1604.0
Subtracting 688 from 797 leaves us with 109.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 109, then carry on: 1090 / 172

On to step 7:
1090 divided by 172 is 6 with a remainder of 58.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16046.0
Subtract 1032 from 1090 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 580 by 172, we get 3 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 16046.3
If we take 516 away from 580, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
172 can be fit into 640 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 124.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16046.33
Subtracting 516 from 640 leaves us with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16046.33 with a remaining 0.124.
