272173 divided by 45 
We want to figure out the number of times 272173 can be divided by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
45 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 45

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 272 by 45, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 270 from 272 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 45

Going ahead to step 4:
21 divided by 45 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 217 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
45 goes into 217 4 times with a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 604.0
Subtracting 180 from 217 leaves us with 37.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 373 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 45 fits into 373 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6048.0
If we take 360 away from 373, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 130 by 45, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6048.2
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 90 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
400 divided by 45 is 8 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6048.28
Subtract 360 from 400 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
45 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6048.288
If we subtract 360 from 400, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6048.288 and a remainder of 0.004.
