72234817 divided by 171 
Our goal is to divide 72234817 by 171.

Going ahead to step 1:
171 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 171

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 171, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 0 from 72.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 72, then carry on: 722 / 171

Going ahead to step 3:
722 divided by 171 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 684 from 722 and we're left with 38.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 383 / 171

Step 4:
The number 171 fits into 383 2 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 342 away from 383, we end up with 41.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 41 and repeat the process: 414 / 171

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 414 by 171, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 422.0
If we subtract 342 from 414, we get 72.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 728 / 171

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 728 by 171, we get 4 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4224.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 684 from 728.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 441 / 171

Moving on to step 7:
171 can be fit into 441 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 99.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42242.0
Subtracting 342 from 441 leaves us with 99.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 99 and repeat the process: 997 / 171

Moving on to step 8:
997 divided by 171 is 5 with a remainder of 142.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 422425.0
If we subtract 855 from 997, we get 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 171 fits into 1420 8 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 422425.8
If we take 1368 away from 1420, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
171 goes into 520 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 422425.83
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 513 from 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 70 by 171, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 422425.83
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 700 by 171, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 422425.8304
Deduct 684 from 700 and we're left with 16.
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 13:
The number 171 fits into 160 0 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 422425.8304
Subtracting 0 from 160 leaves us with 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
171 goes into 1600 9 times with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 422425.830409
Deduct 1539 from 1600 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
171 goes into 610 3 times with a remainder of 97.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 422425.8304093
If we take 513 away from 610, we end up with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 171 fits into 970 5 times, leaving a remainder of 115.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 422425.83040935
If we subtract 855 from 970, we get 115.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

The final result is 422425.83040935 with a remainder of 1.15e-07.
