We divide 170172 by 73
We want to divide 170172 by 73.

Step 1:
The number 73 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 170 / 73

Going ahead to step 3:
170 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 146 from 170 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 241 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 241 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 219 from 241, we get 22.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 227 / 73

On to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 227 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 233.0
Subtract 219 from 227 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 73

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 73 fits into 82 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2331.0
If we take 73 away from 82, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
73 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2331.1
If we subtract 73 from 90, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 73 fits into 170 2 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2331.12
Subtracting 146 from 170 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 9:
240 divided by 73 is 3 with a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2331.123
Deduct 219 from 240 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
73 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2331.1232
If we subtract 146 from 210, we get 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 11:
73 goes into 640 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2331.12328
If we take 584 away from 640, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
73 can be fit into 560 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2331.123287
Subtracting 511 from 560 leaves us with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 73 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2331.1232876
If we subtract 438 from 490, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 14:
520 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2331.12328767
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 511 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2331.12328767, and the remainder is 9e-09.
