72244798 divided by 172 
We want to figure out the number of times 72244798 can be divided by 172.

Moving on to step 1:
172 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 72 / 172

Step 2:
If we divide 72 by 172, we get 0 and a remainder of 72.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 72 leaves us with 72.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 722 / 172

Advancing to step 3:
172 goes into 722 4 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 688 away from 722, we end up with 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 172

On to step 4:
When dividing 344 by 172, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 344 away from 344, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 172

Let's proceed to step 5:
172 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 420.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 172

On to step 6:
172 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4200.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 479 / 172

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 479 by 172, we get 2 with a remainder of 135.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42002.0
The remainder is 135 after subtracting 344 from 479.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 135, then carry on: 1358 / 172

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 1358 by 172, we get 7 with a remainder of 154.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 420027.0
If we subtract 1204 from 1358, we get 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
1540 divided by 172 is 8 with a remainder of 164.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 420027.8
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1640 by 172, we get 9 with a remainder of 92.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 420027.89
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.

Moving on to step 11:
172 goes into 920 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 420027.895
Deduct 860 from 920 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
172 can be fit into 600 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 420027.8953
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 516 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 840 by 172, we get 4 with a remainder of 152.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 420027.89534
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.

On to step 14:
The number 172 fits into 1520 8 times, leaving a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 420027.895348
Subtracting 1376 from 1520 leaves us 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.

Step 15:
1440 divided by 172 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 420027.8953488
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 420027.8953488 and a remainder of 6.4e-07.
