We look at the division of 47498942 by 172 
We want to divide 47498942 by 172.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 172, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 172

Advancing to step 2:
172 can be fit into 47 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 0 from 47.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 474 / 172

Going ahead to step 3:
172 can be fit into 474 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 130.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 130 after subtracting 344 from 474.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 130, then repeat: 1309 / 172

Step 4:
If we divide 1309 by 172, we get 7 and a remainder of 105.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 105 after subtracting 1204 from 1309.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 105, then repeat: 1058 / 172

On to step 5:
When dividing 1058 by 172, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 276.0
Subtract 1032 from 1058 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 269 / 172

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 172 fits into 269 1 times, leaving a remainder of 97.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2761.0
If we subtract 172 from 269, we get 97.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 97, then repeat: 974 / 172

Step 7:
172 goes into 974 5 times with a remainder of 114.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 27615.0
Subtract 860 from 974 to get 114.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 114, then carry on: 1142 / 172

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 1142 by 172, we get 6 and a remainder of 110.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 276156.0
Subtract 1032 from 1142 to get 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 172 fits into 1100 6 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 276156.6
Subtracting 1032 from 1100 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 680 by 172, we get 3 and a remainder of 164.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 276156.63
Subtract 516 from 680 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.

Advancing to step 11:
1640 divided by 172 is 9 with a remainder of 92.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 276156.639
If we subtract 1548 from 1640, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
920 divided by 172 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276156.6395
Subtracting 860 from 920 leaves us with 60.
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 13:
When dividing 600 by 172, we get 3 with a remainder of 84.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276156.63953
Subtracting 516 from 600 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 840 by 172, we get 4 and a remainder of 152.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276156.639534
If we subtract 688 from 840, we get 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 15:
1520 divided by 172 is 8 with a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 276156.6395348
Subtract 1376 from 1520 to get 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 16:
172 goes into 1440 8 times with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 276156.63953488
Subtracting 1376 from 1440 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 276156.63953488, with a leftover of 6.4e-08.
