Let's divide 23871956 by 172
We're looking to find how many times 172 goes into 23871956.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 172 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 172

Moving on to step 2:
172 goes into 23 0 times with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 23 and we're left with 23.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 238 / 172

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 238 by 172, we get 1 with a remainder of 66.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 172 from 238.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 667 / 172

Moving on to step 4:
172 can be fit into 667 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 151.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 516 away from 667, we end up with 151.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 151 and continue with: 1511 / 172

Moving on to step 5:
172 can be fit into 1511 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 135.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 138.0
The remainder is 135 after subtracting 1376 from 1511.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 135, then carry on: 1359 / 172

Step 6:
172 goes into 1359 7 times with a remainder of 155.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1387.0
Subtract 1204 from 1359 to get 155.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 155, then carry on: 1555 / 172

Step 7:
The number 172 fits into 1555 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 13879.0
If we take 1548 away from 1555, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 172

Advancing to step 8:
172 goes into 76 0 times with a remainder of 76.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 138790.0
If we subtract 0 from 76, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 9:
172 goes into 760 4 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138790.4
If we take 688 away from 760, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 172 fits into 720 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 138790.44
If we subtract 688 from 720, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final result is 138790.44 with a remainder of 0.032.
