78204 ÷ 17 
We want to divide 78204 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 17

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 68 from 78 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 17

On to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 102 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we take 102 away from 102, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 0 / 17

On to step 4:
0 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 460.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 17

On to step 5:
When dividing 4 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4600.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, 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.

Step 6:
If we divide 40 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4600.2
Deduct 34 from 40 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 7:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4600.23
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 51 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
17 can be fit into 90 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4600.235
If we take 85 away from 90, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4600.2352
Deduct 34 from 50 and we're left with 16.
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 10:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4600.23529
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.

Moving on to step 11:
70 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4600.235294
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4600.2352941
If we subtract 17 from 20, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4600.23529411
If we take 17 away from 30, we end up with 13.
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 result is 4600.23529411 with a remainder of 1.3e-08.
