We're dividing 98554072 by 172 
We want to divide 98554072 by 172.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 172

Moving on to step 2:
98 divided by 172 is 0 with a remainder of 98.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 98 to get 98.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 98 and continue: 985 / 172

On to step 3:
985 divided by 172 is 5 with a remainder of 125.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 860 from 985, we get 125.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 125 and repeat the process: 1255 / 172

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 172 fits into 1255 7 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 57.0
Deduct 1204 from 1255 and we're left with 51.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 514 / 172

On to step 5:
If we divide 514 by 172, we get 2 and a remainder of 170.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 572.0
The remainder is 170 after subtracting 344 from 514.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 170 and repeat the process: 1700 / 172

Step 6:
172 goes into 1700 9 times with a remainder of 152.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5729.0
If we take 1548 away from 1700, we end up with 152.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 152 and repeat the process: 1527 / 172

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1527 by 172, we get 8 with a remainder of 151.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57298.0
Subtract 1376 from 1527 to get 151.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 151, then repeat: 1512 / 172

Advancing to step 8:
172 goes into 1512 8 times with a remainder of 136.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 572988.0
The remainder is 136 after subtracting 1376 from 1512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
1360 divided by 172 is 7 with a remainder of 156.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 572988.7
If we take 1204 away from 1360, we end up with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
1560 divided by 172 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 572988.79
Subtract 1548 from 1560 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
172 goes into 120 0 times with a remainder of 120.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 572988.79
Subtracting 0 from 120 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
1200 divided by 172 is 6 with a remainder of 168.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 572988.7906
Deduct 1032 from 1200 and we're left with 168.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1680, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 1680 by 172, we get 9 with a remainder of 132.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 572988.79069
If we subtract 1548 from 1680, we get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
172 goes into 1320 7 times with a remainder of 116.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 572988.790697
The remainder is 116 after subtracting 1204 from 1320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
172 can be fit into 1160 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 572988.7906976
Subtract 1032 from 1160 to get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
172 can be fit into 1280 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 572988.79069767
Deduct 1204 from 1280 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

The final result is 572988.79069767 with a remainder of 7.6e-08.
