999697 ÷ 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 999697.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 17

On to step 2:
If we divide 99 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 85 away from 99, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 149 8 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we take 136 away from 149, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 136 / 17

Step 4:
17 can be fit into 136 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 588.0
Subtract 136 from 136 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
17 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5880.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 17

Step 6:
97 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 58805.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 85 from 97.
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:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58805.7
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.

On to step 8:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58805.7
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 100 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58805.705
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 150 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58805.7058
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58805.70588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 58805.70588 with a balance of 4e-06.
