We look at the division of 17244583 by 721 
We want to divide 17244583 by 721.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 721, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 721

Moving on to step 2:
The number 721 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 721

Step 3:
When dividing 172 by 721, we get 0 with a remainder of 172.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 172, we end up with 172.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 172 and repeat the process: 1724 / 721

Step 4:
721 can be fit into 1724 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 282.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1442 from 1724, we get 282.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 282 and repeat the process: 2824 / 721

Advancing to step 5:
The number 721 fits into 2824 3 times, leaving a remainder of 661.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 2163 from 2824 and we're left with 661.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 661, then repeat: 6615 / 721

Let's proceed to step 6:
721 can be fit into 6615 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 239.0
If we take 6489 away from 6615, we end up with 126.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 126, then carry on: 1268 / 721

Moving on to step 7:
1268 divided by 721 is 1 with a remainder of 547.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2391.0
If we subtract 721 from 1268, we get 547.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 547 and continue: 5473 / 721

Let's proceed to step 8:
721 can be fit into 5473 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 426.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23917.0
Deduct 5047 from 5473 and we're left with 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Step 9:
721 goes into 4260 5 times with a remainder of 655.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23917.5
Subtract 3605 from 4260 to get 655.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
721 goes into 6550 9 times with a remainder of 61.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23917.59
If we subtract 6489 from 6550, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 721 fits into 610 0 times, leaving a remainder of 610.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23917.59
If we subtract 0 from 610, we get 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
721 goes into 6100 8 times with a remainder of 332.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23917.5908
The remainder is 332 after subtracting 5768 from 6100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 3320 by 721, we get 4 and a remainder of 436.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23917.59084
Subtracting 2884 from 3320 leaves us with 436.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
4360 divided by 721 is 6 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23917.590846
Subtract 4326 from 4360 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 340 by 721, we get 0 and a remainder of 340.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23917.590846
If we take 0 away from 340, we end up with 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
721 goes into 3400 4 times with a remainder of 516.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23917.59084604
Subtracting 2884 from 3400 leaves us with 516.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 23917.59084604, and the remainder is 5.16e-07.
