687137 ÷ 17 
Our goal is to divide 687137 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
17 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
68 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 68 from 68 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
17 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 17

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 71 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 404.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 68 from 71.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 33 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4041.0
Subtract 17 from 33 to get 16.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 167 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
17 can be fit into 167 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40419.0
If we subtract 153 from 167, we get 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 7:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40419.8
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40419.82
If we subtract 34 from 40, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 60 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40419.823
If we take 51 away from 60, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40419.8235
If we subtract 85 from 90, we get 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:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40419.82352
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 34 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40419.823529
If we take 153 away from 160, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On 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: 40419.8235294
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
17 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 40419.82352941
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 17 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 40419.82352941 with a balance of 3e-09.
