We divide 551216 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 551216 can be divided by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 17

On to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 51 from 55 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 17

Step 3:
When dividing 41 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 34 from 41 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
The number 17 fits into 72 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 324.0
Deduct 68 from 72 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 17

On to step 5:
If we divide 41 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3242.0
If we subtract 34 from 41, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 17

Step 6:
17 goes into 76 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32424.0
If we take 68 away from 76, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 32424.4
Deduct 68 from 80 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 32424.47
Subtracting 119 from 120 leaves us 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 9:
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: 32424.47
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.

On to step 10:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32424.4705
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 32424.47058
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.

Advancing to step 12:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32424.470588
Deduct 136 from 140 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 32424.470588 with a balance of 4e-07.
