28968404 ÷ 172 
We want to divide 28968404 by 172.

Step 1:
172 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 172

Going ahead to step 2:
28 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 289 / 172

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 289 by 172, we get 1 with a remainder of 117.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 172 from 289 to get 117.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 117, then carry on: 1176 / 172

Moving on to step 4:
1176 divided by 172 is 6 with a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 1032 from 1176.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 144 and continue with: 1448 / 172

Step 5:
When dividing 1448 by 172, we get 8 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
If we subtract 1376 from 1448, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 724 / 172

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 724 by 172, we get 4 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1684.0
If we subtract 688 from 724, we get 36.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 360 / 172

Going ahead to step 7:
172 goes into 360 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16842.0
Deduct 344 from 360 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 164 / 172

Moving on to step 8:
172 goes into 164 0 times with a remainder of 164.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168420.0
Subtract 0 from 164 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 9:
172 can be fit into 1640 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168420.9
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
172 goes into 920 5 times with a remainder of 60.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168420.95
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 860 from 920.
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:
600 divided by 172 is 3 with a remainder of 84.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168420.953
Deduct 516 from 600 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 12:
172 can be fit into 840 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168420.9534
If we take 688 away from 840, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
1520 divided by 172 is 8 with a remainder of 144.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168420.95348
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
1440 divided by 172 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 168420.953488
If we subtract 1376 from 1440, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 168420.953488 with a balance of 6.4e-06.
