Let's divide 217247 by 10
We want to divide 217247 by 10.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 10

Step 2:
If we divide 21 by 10, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 20 away from 21, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 10

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 10, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 10 from 17 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 10

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 72 by 10, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 217.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 70 from 72.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 10

On to step 5:
24 divided by 10 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2172.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 20 from 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 10

Moving on to step 6:
The number 10 fits into 47 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21724.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 40 from 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
10 goes into 70 7 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21724.7
If we take 70 away from 70, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21724.7
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 10, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21724.7
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21724.7 with a balance of 0.0.
