Let's divide 172885 by 10
We want to divide 172885 by 10.

Going ahead to step 1:
10 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 10

Advancing to step 2:
10 goes into 17 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 10 away from 17, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 10

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 10 fits into 72 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 70 from 72 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 10

Step 4:
28 divided by 10 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 172.0
Subtract 20 from 28 to get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 10

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 88 by 10, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1728.0
If we take 80 away from 88, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 10

Advancing to step 6:
10 can be fit into 85 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17288.0
Deduct 80 from 85 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
10 can be fit into 50 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17288.5
Deduct 50 from 50 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 8:
10 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17288.5
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 10 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17288.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 17288.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
