We're dividing 740401 by 17 
We want to divide 740401 by 17.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 17

Step 2:
17 goes into 74 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 68 from 74, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 17

On to step 3:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 51 from 60.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 94 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 435.0
Subtracting 85 from 94 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 90 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4355.0
Deduct 85 from 90 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
17 can be fit into 51 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43553.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 51 from 51.
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 7:
The number 17 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43553.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
17 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43553.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 43553.0 with a remaining 0.0.
