Let's divide 504897 by 17
Our goal is to divide 504897 by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 34 away from 50, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 164 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
17 goes into 164 9 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 153 from 164, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 118 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 296.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 102 from 118.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 169 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2969.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 153 from 169.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
167 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29699.0
Subtracting 153 from 167 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29699.8
Subtracting 136 from 140 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29699.82
Subtracting 34 from 40 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 60 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29699.823
If we subtract 51 from 60, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
17 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29699.8235
If we subtract 85 from 90, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
50 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29699.82352
Subtract 34 from 50 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29699.823529
If we take 153 away from 160, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
17 can be fit into 70 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29699.8235294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29699.82352941
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 29699.82352941 and a remainder of 3e-09.
