Step 7:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 31703.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31703.05
If we subtract 85 from 100, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result.

If we take 136 away from 150, we end up 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 10:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31703.0588
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 31703.0588 with a balance of 4e-05.
