We divide 72725 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 72725 can be divided by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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:
72 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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

Let's proceed to step 3:
47 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 34 from 47 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 132 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
132 divided by 17 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 427.0
If we take 119 away from 132, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 135 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
17 goes into 135 7 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4277.0
If we take 119 away from 135, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4277.9
Subtracting 153 from 160 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 can be fit into 70 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4277.94
If we subtract 68 from 70, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4277.941
If we take 17 away from 20, 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 9:
17 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4277.9411
If we subtract 17 from 30, we get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4277.9411 and a remainder of 0.00013.
