Let's divide 972444 by 17
We want to divide 972444 by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
17 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 17

On to step 2:
97 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 85 from 97.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 122 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 119 from 122 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 17

Step 4:
The number 17 fits into 34 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 572.0
Subtracting 34 from 34 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5720.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
44 divided by 17 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57202.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 34 from 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57202.5
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 85 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57202.58
Subtract 136 from 150 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 17, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57202.588
If we subtract 136 from 140, 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.

The final result is 57202.588 with a remainder of 0.0004.
