We look at the division of 172728 by 88 
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 172728.

Advancing to step 1:
88 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 88

On to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 can be fit into 172 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 88 from 172 and we're left with 84.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 847 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
88 goes into 847 9 times with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 792 from 847, we get 55.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 552 / 88

Let's proceed to step 5:
88 goes into 552 6 times with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 196.0
If we take 528 away from 552, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 248 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 248 2 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1962.0
Deduct 176 from 248 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1962.8
If we subtract 704 from 720, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 160 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1962.81
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 88 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1962.818
Subtract 704 from 720 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
160 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1962.8181
Subtracting 88 from 160 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 11:
88 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1962.81818
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1962.818181
Subtracting 88 from 160 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
88 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1962.8181818
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 88 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1962.81818181
If we take 88 away from 160, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1962.81818181 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
