Let's divide 679131 by 17
We want to divide 679131 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 6 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 67 by 17, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 51 from 67 to get 16.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 169 / 17

Step 3:
If we divide 169 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Deduct 153 from 169 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 161 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 161 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 399.0
Deduct 153 from 161 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 83 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
83 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3994.0
If we subtract 68 from 83, we get 15.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 151 / 17

On to step 6:
17 can be fit into 151 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39948.0
Subtract 136 from 151 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 150 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 39948.8
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.

Advancing to step 8:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39948.88
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.

After the division, we end up with 39948.88 and a remainder of 0.004.
