We divide 212398 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 212398 can be divided by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 17

Step 2:
The number 17 fits into 21 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 17 from 21 to get 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 17

Step 3:
When dividing 42 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 34 from 42.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 83 / 17

Step 4:
If we divide 83 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 15.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 124.0
Subtracting 68 from 83 leaves us with 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 159 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1249.0
Subtract 153 from 159 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
68 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12494.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 68 from 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
17 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12494.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
17 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12494.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12494.0 with a balance of 0.0.
