We look at the division of 726811 by 17 
We want to divide 726811 by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 72 4 times, leaving 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.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 46 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 34 from 46 to get 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 17

Step 4:
If we divide 128 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 427.0
Subtracting 119 from 128 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 91 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 91 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4275.0
Subtracting 85 from 91 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 61 / 17

On to step 6:
17 can be fit into 61 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 42753.0
Subtract 51 from 61 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 100 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 42753.5
Deduct 85 from 100 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 42753.58
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up 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.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42753.588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 42753.588, and the remainder is 0.0004.
