17317423 divided by 421 
We want to figure out the number of times 17317423 can be divided by 421.

Moving on to step 1:
421 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 421

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 421, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 173 / 421

On to step 3:
The number 421 fits into 173 0 times, leaving a remainder of 173.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 173 to get 173.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 173 and continue: 1731 / 421

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1731 by 421, we get 4 and a remainder of 47.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 1684 from 1731 leaves us with 47.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 47, then repeat: 477 / 421

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 421 fits into 477 1 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 41.0
Deduct 421 from 477 and we're left with 56.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 564 / 421

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 421 fits into 564 1 times, leaving a remainder of 143.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 411.0
If we take 421 away from 564, we end up with 143.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 143, then repeat: 1432 / 421

Step 7:
421 goes into 1432 3 times with a remainder of 169.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4113.0
If we take 1263 away from 1432, we end up with 169.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 169, then carry on: 1693 / 421

Going ahead to step 8:
1693 divided by 421 is 4 with a remainder of 9.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41134.0
If we subtract 1684 from 1693, 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.

On to step 9:
421 can be fit into 90 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41134.0
If we take 0 away from 90, we end up with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
900 divided by 421 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41134.02
If we take 842 away from 900, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
421 goes into 580 1 times with a remainder of 159.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41134.021
Subtract 421 from 580 to get 159.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
1590 divided by 421 is 3 with a remainder of 327.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41134.0213
Subtract 1263 from 1590 to get 327.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 3270 by 421, we get 7 with a remainder of 323.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41134.02137
Subtracting 2947 from 3270 leaves us with 323.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 3230 by 421, we get 7 and a remainder of 283.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 41134.021377
Subtract 2947 from 3230 to get 283.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2830, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 41134.021377 with a balance of 2.83e-05.
