Let's divide 14521479 by 172
We want to figure out the number of times 14521479 can be divided by 172.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 172

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 172, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 145 / 172

Step 3:
145 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 145.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 145 to get 145.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 145 and repeat the process: 1452 / 172

Step 4:
When dividing 1452 by 172, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 1376 from 1452 to get 76.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 761 / 172

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 172 fits into 761 4 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 688 from 761.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 73 and repeat the process: 734 / 172

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 172 fits into 734 4 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 844.0
If we subtract 688 from 734, we get 46.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 467 / 172

On to step 7:
When dividing 467 by 172, we get 2 with a remainder of 123.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8442.0
If we subtract 344 from 467, we get 123.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 123, then carry on: 1239 / 172

Advancing to step 8:
The number 172 fits into 1239 7 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 84427.0
If we subtract 1204 from 1239, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 350 by 172, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84427.2
If we subtract 344 from 350, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
172 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84427.2
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us 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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 600 by 172, we get 3 with a remainder of 84.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 84427.203
Subtracting 516 from 600 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
172 goes into 840 4 times with a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 84427.2034
Deduct 688 from 840 and we're left with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 13:
1520 divided by 172 is 8 with a remainder of 144.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84427.20348
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.

Advancing to step 14:
1440 divided by 172 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 84427.203488
If we take 1376 away from 1440, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final result is 84427.203488 with a remainder of 6.4e-06.
