We divide 172608 by 3
Our goal is to divide 172608 by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
17 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 15 from 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 3

Step 3:
22 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 21 from 22 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 3

Step 4:
3 goes into 16 5 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 575.0
Subtract 15 from 16 to get 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 3

Advancing to step 5:
The number 3 fits into 10 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5753.0
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 6:
18 divided by 3 is 6 with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57536.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57536.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
3 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 57536.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 57536.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
