178579 ÷ 17 
We're looking to find how many times 17 goes into 178579.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 17 from 17, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 17

Step 3:
17 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 17

Step 4:
If we divide 85 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 105.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 85 from 85.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
17 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1050.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 17

On to step 6:
When dividing 79 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10504.0
If we take 68 away from 79, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 17 fits into 110 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10504.6
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
80 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10504.64
Subtract 68 from 80 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
17 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10504.647
If we take 119 away from 120, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 10 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10504.647
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10504.64705
Subtract 85 from 100 to get 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 12:
17 can be fit into 150 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10504.647058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
17 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10504.6470588
If we subtract 136 from 140, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 10504.6470588 with a remainder of 4e-08.
