We look at the division of 788918 by 17 
We want to figure out the number of times 788918 can be divided by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
7 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 17, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 68 from 78.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 108 / 17

On to step 3:
17 goes into 108 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46.0
Deduct 102 from 108 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 17

Step 4:
69 divided by 17 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 464.0
Deduct 68 from 69 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 17

On to step 5:
11 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4640.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 17

On to step 6:
17 can be fit into 118 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46406.0
If we subtract 102 from 118, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 160 by 17, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46406.9
Subtracting 153 from 160 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46406.94
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46406.941
If we take 17 away from 20, we end up with 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 10:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46406.9411
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 46406.9411 with a balance of 0.00013.
