638889 divided by 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 638889.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 17

Step 2:
If we divide 63 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 51 from 63, we get 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 128 7 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we subtract 119 from 128, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 17

Step 4:
When dividing 98 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 13.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 375.0
If we take 85 away from 98, we end up with 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
138 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3758.0
If we subtract 136 from 138, we get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 29 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37581.0
If we subtract 17 from 29, 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 7:
17 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37581.7
Deduct 119 from 120 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
17 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37581.7
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37581.705
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 10:
17 goes into 150 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37581.7058
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.

On to step 11:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 37581.70588
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 37581.70588, with a leftover of 4e-06.
