Let's divide 741842 by 17
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 741842.

Going ahead to step 1:
17 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
17 goes into 74 4 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 68 from 74, we get 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 17

Step 3:
The number 17 fits into 61 3 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 51 from 61.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 108 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 436.0
Deduct 102 from 108 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 17

Step 5:
64 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4363.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 51 from 64.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 132 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43637.0
Subtracting 119 from 132 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
17 goes into 130 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43637.7
If we subtract 119 from 130, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 43637.76
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 102 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43637.764
Subtract 68 from 80 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43637.7647
Subtracting 119 from 120 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 43637.7647
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43637.764705
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 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 13:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43637.7647058
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43637.76470588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 43637.76470588 with a remainder of 4e-09.
