Let's divide 28842 by 17
Let's see how many times 17 fits into 28842.

Advancing to step 1:
17 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
17 can be fit into 28 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 28 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 118 by 17, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 102 from 118 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 164 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 164 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 169.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 153 from 164.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 112 / 17

On to step 5:
17 goes into 112 6 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1696.0
Subtracting 102 from 112 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1696.5
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.

On to step 7:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1696.58
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 136 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1696.588
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.

Our division results in 1696.588 with a remaining 0.0004.
