Let's divide 988233 by 17
Our goal is to divide 988233 by 17.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 17

On to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 85 from 98 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 138 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 136 from 138, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
22 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 581.0
Subtracting 17 from 22 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
17 goes into 53 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5813.0
Subtracting 51 from 53 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 17

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 23 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 58131.0
If we take 17 away from 23, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
17 can be fit into 60 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58131.3
Subtract 51 from 60 to get 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:
If we divide 90 by 17, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 58131.35
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
50 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58131.352
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:
If we divide 160 by 17, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 58131.3529
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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 58131.35294
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.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58131.352941
Deduct 17 from 20 and we're left 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.

Advancing 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: 58131.3529411
If we subtract 17 from 30, we 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.

The final outcome is 58131.3529411, with a leftover of 1.3e-07.
