We look at the division of 72758 by 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 72758.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 17

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
Deduct 68 from 72 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 47 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 34 from 47 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 135 / 17

On to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 135 7 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 427.0
Deduct 119 from 135 and we're left with 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 168 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4279.0
If we take 153 away from 168, 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 6:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4279.8
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left 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 7:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4279.88
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4279.88 and a remainder of 0.004.
