3412948 ÷ 172 
We want to divide 3412948 by 172.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 172

Let's proceed to step 2:
172 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 341 / 172

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 341 by 172, we get 1 with a remainder of 169.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 172 from 341, we get 169.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 169, then carry on: 1692 / 172

On to step 4:
When dividing 1692 by 172, we get 9 with a remainder of 144.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 1548 from 1692, we get 144.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 144, then repeat: 1449 / 172

Let's proceed to step 5:
172 can be fit into 1449 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 198.0
Subtract 1376 from 1449 to get 73.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 734 / 172

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 734 by 172, we get 4 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1984.0
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 688 from 734.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 468 / 172

Let's proceed to step 7:
172 goes into 468 2 times with a remainder of 124.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19842.0
The remainder is 124 after subtracting 344 from 468.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
172 goes into 1240 7 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19842.7
Deduct 1204 from 1240 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
172 can be fit into 360 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19842.72
If we subtract 344 from 360, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
172 can be fit into 160 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 160.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19842.72
Subtract 0 from 160 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 172 fits into 1600 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19842.7209
If we take 1548 away from 1600, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 520 by 172, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19842.72093
Deduct 516 from 520 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.

Step 13:
172 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19842.72093
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 400 by 172, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19842.7209302
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 344 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
When dividing 560 by 172, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19842.72093023
Deduct 516 from 560 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 19842.72093023, and the remainder is 4.4e-08.
