172608 ÷ 73 
Our goal is to divide 172608 by 73.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 73 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 73

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 73, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 73

On to step 3:
If we divide 172 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 146 from 172 and we're left with 26.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 266 / 73

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 266 by 73, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 219 from 266.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 470 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 438 from 470.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 32, then repeat: 328 / 73

On to step 6:
73 goes into 328 4 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2364.0
If we take 292 away from 328, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 73 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2364.4
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 292 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
680 divided by 73 is 9 with a remainder of 23.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2364.49
Subtracting 657 from 680 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 230 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2364.493
If we subtract 219 from 230, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
73 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2364.4931
If we take 73 away from 110, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 370 by 73, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2364.49315
Subtract 365 from 370 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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 73 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2364.49315
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 73, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2364.4931506
Deduct 438 from 500 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
73 can be fit into 620 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2364.49315068
Subtracting 584 from 620 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2364.49315068 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
