We're dividing 490897 by 17 
Our goal is to divide 490897 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
17 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 34 from 49 to get 15.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 150 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 17

Step 4:
17 can be fit into 148 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 288.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 136 from 148.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 129 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 129 by 17, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2887.0
Subtract 119 from 129 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 17

On to step 6:
17 goes into 107 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28876.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 102 from 107.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28876.2
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.

Moving on to step 8:
17 can be fit into 160 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28876.29
Subtract 153 from 160 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 28876.294
If we subtract 68 from 70, we get 2.
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 10:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28876.2941
Subtract 17 from 20 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
30 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28876.29411
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 28876.29411, with a leftover of 1.3e-05.
