83729 divided by 17 
We want to divide 83729 by 17.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 17

Step 2:
If we divide 83 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 68 away from 83, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 157 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 153 from 157 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 17

On to step 4:
42 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 492.0
If we subtract 34 from 42, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 89 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4925.0
Subtract 85 from 89 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
17 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4925.2
If we subtract 34 from 40, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4925.23
If we subtract 51 from 60, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4925.235
Subtracting 85 from 90 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4925.2352
Subtracting 34 from 50 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4925.23529
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
17 can be fit into 70 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4925.235294
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4925.2352941
Subtracting 17 from 20 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4925.23529411
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 4925.23529411 with a remaining 1.3e-08.
