172998 divided by 17 
Our goal is to divide 172998 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 17

Step 2:
17 can be fit into 17 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 17 from 17 to get 0.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 17

Step 3:
The number 17 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 17

Moving on to step 4:
29 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 101.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 17 from 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 17

Let's proceed to step 5:
17 goes into 129 7 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1017.0
If we take 119 away from 129, we end up with 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 goes into 108 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10176.0
Deduct 102 from 108 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
60 divided by 17 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10176.3
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
90 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10176.35
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 85 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10176.352
If we subtract 34 from 50, we get 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:
160 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10176.3529
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 153 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10176.35294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us with 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:
17 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10176.352941
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.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10176.3529411
Subtract 17 from 30 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10176.3529411 with a balance of 1.3e-07.
