We're dividing 108742 by 17 
We want to divide 108742 by 17.

Going ahead to step 1:
17 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 108 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 102 from 108 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 17

Step 4:
17 goes into 67 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
If we take 51 away from 67, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 164 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
17 goes into 164 9 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 639.0
If we take 153 away from 164, we end up with 11.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 112 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
112 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6396.0
If we subtract 102 from 112, we 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.

On to step 7:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6396.5
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 8:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6396.58
Subtract 136 from 150 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
140 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6396.588
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
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 6396.588 and a remainder of 0.0004.
