We're dividing 172949 by 70 
Let's see how many times 70 fits into 172949.

On to step 1:
70 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 70

Advancing to step 2:
70 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 70

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 172 by 70, we get 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 140 away from 172, we end up with 32.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 32, then repeat: 329 / 70

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 329 by 70, we get 4 and a remainder of 49.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 280 from 329 and we're left with 49.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 494 / 70

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 494 by 70, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 247.0
Subtract 490 from 494 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 70

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 49 by 70, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2470.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 70 fits into 490 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2470.7
Deduct 490 from 490 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 70, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2470.7
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
70 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2470.7
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2470.7 with a remaining 0.0.
