Step 5:
1076 divided by 173 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 306.0
If we take 1038 away from 1076, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 388 / 173

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 388 by 173, we get 2 and a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3062.0
Subtracting 346 from 388 leaves us with 42.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 423 / 173

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 423 by 173, we get 2 and a remainder of 77.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30622.0
If we take 346 away from 423, we end up with 77.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 77, then carry on: 779 / 173

On to step 8:
173 goes into 779 4 times with a remainder of 87.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 306224.0
Deduct 692 from 779 and we're left with 87.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
173 can be fit into 870 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 306224.5
Subtract 865 from 870 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
173 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 306224.5
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 500 by 173, we get 2 and a remainder of 154.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 306224.502
If we subtract 346 from 500, we get 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 173 fits into 1540 8 times, leaving a remainder of 156.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 306224.5028
Subtract 1384 from 1540 to get 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
173 goes into 1560 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 306224.50289
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 1557 from 1560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
173 can be fit into 30 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 306224.50289
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us 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 15:
300 divided by 173 is 1 with a remainder of 127.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 306224.5028901
If we take 173 away from 300, we end up with 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
173 goes into 1270 7 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 306224.50289017
If we subtract 1211 from 1270, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 306224.50289017, with a leftover of 5.9e-08.
