We're dividing 17373 by 72 
Our goal is to divide 17373 by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 72

Advancing to step 2:
17 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 173 / 72

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 173 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 144 from 173 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 297 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 297 by 72, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 288 away from 297, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 93 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
The number 72 fits into 93 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 241.0
If we subtract 72 from 93, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
210 divided by 72 is 2 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 241.2
Subtracting 144 from 210 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
660 divided by 72 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 241.29
Subtracting 648 from 660 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
72 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 241.291
If we subtract 72 from 120, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
72 can be fit into 480 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 241.2916
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 10:
72 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 241.29166
Subtract 432 from 480 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 241.29166 with a balance of 4.8e-05.
