We look at the division of 12088 by 17 
We want to divide 12088 by 17.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 17

On to step 2:
12 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 120 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
17 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 119 away from 120, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
18 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 71.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 17 from 18.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 18 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 711.0
If we take 17 away from 18, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 711.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
100 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 711.05
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 150 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 711.058
If we take 136 away from 150, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 711.0588
If we take 136 away from 140, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 711.0588 with a remaining 4e-05.
