Let's divide 726493 by 17
Our goal is to divide 726493 by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 17

Step 2:
17 can be fit into 72 4 times, resulting in 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.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 46 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 46 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 34 from 46 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 124 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 124 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 427.0
Subtracting 119 from 124 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 17

Step 5:
If we divide 59 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4273.0
If we take 51 away from 59, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 83 4 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42734.0
If we subtract 68 from 83, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42734.8
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42734.88
Subtract 136 from 140 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 42734.88 with a balance of 0.004.
