Let's divide 82742 by 17
We want to divide 82742 by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
17 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 17

Step 2:
17 goes into 82 4 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 68 from 82, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 147 / 17

Step 3:
17 can be fit into 147 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 136 from 147 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 114 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 114 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 486.0
If we take 102 away from 114, we end up with 12.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 17

On to step 5:
17 goes into 122 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4867.0
If we take 119 away from 122, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4867.1
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 130 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4867.17
If we subtract 119 from 130, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
17 goes into 110 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4867.176
Deduct 102 from 110 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4867.1764
If we subtract 68 from 80, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4867.17647
If we take 119 away from 120, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4867.17647
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4867.1764705
If we subtract 85 from 100, 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 13:
When dividing 150 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4867.17647058
If we subtract 136 from 150, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4867.17647058 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
