We're dividing 17429289 by 491 
Our goal is to divide 17429289 by 491.

On to step 1:
491 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 491

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 491, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 174 / 491

On to step 3:
If we divide 174 by 491, we get 0 and a remainder of 174.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 174 and we're left with 174.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 174, then repeat: 1742 / 491

Step 4:
If we divide 1742 by 491, we get 3 and a remainder of 269.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 1473 from 1742 to get 269.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 269 and continue: 2699 / 491

Step 5:
If we divide 2699 by 491, we get 5 and a remainder of 244.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 2455 away from 2699, we end up with 244.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 244, then carry on: 2442 / 491

Step 6:
If we divide 2442 by 491, we get 4 and a remainder of 478.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 354.0
The remainder is 478 after subtracting 1964 from 2442.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 478 and repeat the process: 4788 / 491

Moving on to step 7:
491 can be fit into 4788 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 369.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3549.0
Subtract 4419 from 4788 to get 369.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 369 and continue: 3699 / 491

Moving on to step 8:
The number 491 fits into 3699 7 times, leaving a remainder of 262.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 35497.0
The remainder is 262 after subtracting 3437 from 3699.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2620, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 2620 by 491, we get 5 and a remainder of 165.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35497.5
If we subtract 2455 from 2620, we get 165.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1650 by 491, we get 3 with a remainder of 177.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 35497.53
The remainder is 177 after subtracting 1473 from 1650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
491 goes into 1770 3 times with a remainder of 297.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35497.533
If we take 1473 away from 1770, we end up with 297.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2970, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 35497.533 with a balance of 0.0297.
