Let's divide 172478 by 35
We're looking to find how many times 35 goes into 172478.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 35 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 35

Moving on to step 2:
35 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 172 / 35

Going ahead to step 3:
172 divided by 35 is 4 with a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 140 away from 172, we end up with 32.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 324 / 35

Step 4:
If we divide 324 by 35, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 315 from 324 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 35

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 97 by 35, we get 2 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 492.0
Subtracting 70 from 97 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 35

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 35 fits into 278 7 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4927.0
If we subtract 245 from 278, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 35, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4927.9
If we subtract 315 from 330, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
150 divided by 35 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4927.94
If we take 140 away from 150, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
35 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4927.942
If we subtract 70 from 100, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 35 fits into 300 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4927.9428
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 280 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 35, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4927.94285
Deduct 175 from 200 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
250 divided by 35 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4927.942857
If we subtract 245 from 250, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
50 divided by 35 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4927.9428571
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 35 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 150 by 35, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4927.94285714
Deduct 140 from 150 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4927.94285714 with a balance of 1e-08.
