We divide 7217875 by 172
We want to divide 7217875 by 172.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 172

Going ahead to step 2:
72 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 721 / 172

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 172 fits into 721 4 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 688 from 721, we get 33.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 337 / 172

Advancing to step 4:
The number 172 fits into 337 1 times, leaving a remainder of 165.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
The remainder is 165 after subtracting 172 from 337.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 165 and continue with: 1658 / 172

Moving on to step 5:
The number 172 fits into 1658 9 times, leaving a remainder of 110.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 419.0
Subtracting 1548 from 1658 leaves us with 110.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 110 and continue: 1107 / 172

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 1107 by 172, we get 6 with a remainder of 75.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4196.0
Subtract 1032 from 1107 to get 75.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 755 / 172

On to step 7:
If we divide 755 by 172, we get 4 and a remainder of 67.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41964.0
If we subtract 688 from 755, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
172 can be fit into 670 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 154.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 41964.3
Subtracting 516 from 670 leaves us with 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 172 fits into 1540 8 times, leaving a remainder of 164.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41964.38
Subtract 1376 from 1540 to get 164.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
1640 divided by 172 is 9 with a remainder of 92.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41964.389
If we take 1548 away from 1640, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
172 goes into 920 5 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 41964.3895
Subtract 860 from 920 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
172 goes into 600 3 times with a remainder of 84.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41964.38953
If we take 516 away from 600, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 172 fits into 840 4 times, leaving a remainder of 152.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41964.389534
If we subtract 688 from 840, we get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
172 can be fit into 1520 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41964.3895348
Deduct 1376 from 1520 and we're left with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
172 can be fit into 1440 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41964.38953488
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 1376 from 1440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 41964.38953488 and a remainder of 6.4e-08.
