6857045 divided by 172 
We want to figure out the number of times 6857045 can be divided by 172.

Let's proceed to step 1:
172 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 172

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 68 by 172, we get 0 and a remainder of 68.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 68 leaves us with 68.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 685 / 172

On to step 3:
172 can be fit into 685 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 169.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 516 from 685, we get 169.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 169 and repeat the process: 1697 / 172

Going ahead to step 4:
172 goes into 1697 9 times with a remainder of 149.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we subtract 1548 from 1697, we get 149.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 149 and repeat the process: 1490 / 172

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 1490 by 172, we get 8 with a remainder of 114.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 398.0
The remainder is 114 after subtracting 1376 from 1490.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 114 and continue with: 1144 / 172

Moving on to step 6:
172 can be fit into 1144 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3986.0
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 1032 from 1144.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 112, then repeat: 1125 / 172

Let's proceed to step 7:
1125 divided by 172 is 6 with a remainder of 93.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39866.0
If we subtract 1032 from 1125, we get 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
930 divided by 172 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39866.5
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 860 from 930.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
700 divided by 172 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39866.54
If we take 688 away from 700, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 172 fits into 120 0 times, leaving a remainder of 120.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 39866.54
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 1200 by 172, we get 6 and a remainder of 168.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 39866.5406
The remainder is 168 after subtracting 1032 from 1200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 172 fits into 1680 9 times, leaving a remainder of 132.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39866.54069
The remainder is 132 after subtracting 1548 from 1680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
172 goes into 1320 7 times with a remainder of 116.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39866.540697
The remainder is 116 after subtracting 1204 from 1320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
172 can be fit into 1160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39866.5406976
If we subtract 1032 from 1160, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
172 can be fit into 1280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39866.54069767
Deduct 1204 from 1280 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

The final result is 39866.54069767 with a remainder of 7.6e-08.
