We look at the division of 17472884 by 872 
We're looking to find how many times 872 goes into 17472884.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 872 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 872

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 872, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 174 / 872

Going ahead to step 3:
872 goes into 174 0 times with a remainder of 174.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 174 after subtracting 0 from 174.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 174, then repeat: 1747 / 872

Going ahead to step 4:
872 can be fit into 1747 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 1744 from 1747.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 872

On to step 5:
872 can be fit into 32 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 32 to get 32.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 328 / 872

Step 6:
If we divide 328 by 872, we get 0 and a remainder of 328.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 200.0
Deduct 0 from 328 and we're left with 328.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 328 and repeat the process: 3288 / 872

Let's proceed to step 7:
3288 divided by 872 is 3 with a remainder of 672.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2003.0
Subtracting 2616 from 3288 leaves us with 672.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 672, then repeat: 6724 / 872

Advancing to step 8:
872 can be fit into 6724 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 620.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20037.0
If we take 6104 away from 6724, we end up with 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
6200 divided by 872 is 7 with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20037.7
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 6104 from 6200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 960 by 872, we get 1 and a remainder of 88.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20037.71
Deduct 872 from 960 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 872 fits into 880 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20037.711
If we take 872 away from 880, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20037.711, and the remainder is 0.0008.
