Let's divide 172714 by 7
We want to figure out the number of times 172714 can be divided by 7.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 7 fits into 1 0 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 7

Let's proceed to step 2:
7 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 14 from 17, we get 3.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 7

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 32 by 7, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 28 from 32 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 7

Advancing to step 4:
47 divided by 7 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 246.0
Subtracting 42 from 47 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 7

Advancing to step 5:
7 goes into 51 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2467.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 49 from 51.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 7

Advancing to step 6:
7 goes into 24 3 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24673.0
Subtracting 21 from 24 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
30 divided by 7 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24673.4
Deduct 28 from 30 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 7, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 24673.42
Deduct 14 from 20 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 7 fits into 60 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24673.428
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 7 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24673.4285
Deduct 35 from 40 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
7 goes into 50 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 24673.42857
Subtracting 49 from 50 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 10 by 7, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24673.428571
If we take 7 away from 10, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 7 fits into 30 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24673.4285714
Deduct 28 from 30 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
7 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24673.42857142
Subtract 14 from 20 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 24673.42857142 and a remainder of 6e-09.
