We're dividing 401486 by 17 
Our goal is to divide 401486 by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
17 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 40 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
40 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 34 from 40, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 61 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 51 from 61.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 104 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 236.0
Subtracting 102 from 104 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 17

On to step 5:
17 can be fit into 28 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2361.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 17 from 28.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 17

Step 6:
116 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23616.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 102 from 116.
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.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23616.8
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up 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:
17 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23616.82
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.

Let's proceed 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: 23616.823
Deduct 51 from 60 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
90 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23616.8235
Deduct 85 from 90 and we're left with 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:
The number 17 fits into 50 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23616.82352
Deduct 34 from 50 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23616.823529
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23616.8235294
If we subtract 68 from 70, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 23616.82352941
Subtracting 17 from 20 leaves us with 3.
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 23616.82352941 and a remainder of 3e-09.
