Let's divide 272928 by 17
Our goal is to divide 272928 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 27 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 27 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 102 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 102 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 102 from 102 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 160.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 92 / 17

Step 5:
If we divide 92 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1605.0
If we subtract 85 from 92, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 17 fits into 78 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16054.0
Deduct 68 from 78 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16054.5
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
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 8:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16054.58
Subtracting 136 from 150 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16054.588
Subtract 136 from 140 to get 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 16054.588 and a remainder of 0.0004.
