<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 172, we need to group it as 72 and 1.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is<a>less than</a>or equal to 1. We can say n is ‘1’ because 1 x 1 is less than or equal to 1. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 1, and after subtracting 1-1, the<a>remainder</a>is 0.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 72, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number: 1 + 1 = 2, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 2n as the new divisor, and we need to find the value of n.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 2n x n ≤ 72. Let us consider n as 3, now 2 x 3 x 3 = 18.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 2n x n ≤ 72. Let us consider n as 3, now 2 x 3 x 3 = 18.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 18 from 72, the difference is 54, and the quotient is 13.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 18 from 72, the difference is 54, and the quotient is 13.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 5400.</p>

<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Subtracting 676 from 5400, we get the result 4724.</p>

<p><strong>Step 11:</strong>Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose there are no decimal values, continue until the remainder is zero.</p>
