We divide 729704 by 17
Our goal is to divide 729704 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
17 goes into 72 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 68 from 72, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
17 goes into 49 2 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 34 from 49.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 157 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 429.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 153 from 157.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 17

Step 5:
40 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4292.0
If we take 34 away from 40, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 64 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42923.0
Subtracting 51 from 64 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
130 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 42923.7
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 110 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42923.76
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42923.764
If we take 68 away from 80, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42923.7647
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42923.7647
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 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 12:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42923.764705
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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.

On to step 13:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42923.7647058
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 14:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42923.76470588
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.

Our division results in 42923.76470588 with a remaining 4e-09.
