1724473 ÷ 868 
We're looking to find how many times 868 goes into 1724473.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 868, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 868

Let's proceed to step 2:
868 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 868

Moving on to step 3:
The number 868 fits into 172 0 times, leaving a remainder of 172.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 172 after subtracting 0 from 172.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 172 and continue with: 1724 / 868

Let's proceed to step 4:
868 can be fit into 1724 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 856.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 868 from 1724 and we're left with 856.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 856 and repeat the process: 8564 / 868

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 868 fits into 8564 9 times, leaving a remainder of 752.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 7812 from 8564 to get 752.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 752 and continue with: 7527 / 868

Going ahead to step 6:
7527 divided by 868 is 8 with a remainder of 583.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 198.0
If we take 6944 away from 7527, we end up with 583.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 583 and continue: 5833 / 868

Let's proceed to step 7:
868 goes into 5833 6 times with a remainder of 625.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1986.0
Subtract 5208 from 5833 to get 625.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 868 fits into 6250 7 times, leaving a remainder of 174.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1986.7
If we subtract 6076 from 6250, we get 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
868 goes into 1740 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1986.72
Deduct 1736 from 1740 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
868 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1986.72
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.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 868 is 0 with a remainder of 400.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1986.72
Deduct 0 from 400 and we're left with 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1986.72 and a remainder of 0.004.
