We look at the division of 496877 by 17 
Our goal is to divide 496877 by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 17 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 34 from 49 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 156 / 17

Let's proceed to step 3:
17 goes into 156 9 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 153 away from 156, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 38 by 17, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 292.0
Deduct 34 from 38 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 17

Step 5:
When dividing 47 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2922.0
Subtract 34 from 47 to get 13.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 17

Step 6:
17 goes into 137 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29228.0
If we take 136 away from 137, 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 7:
10 divided by 17 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 29228.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
17 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29228.05
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 9:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29228.058
Deduct 136 from 150 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29228.0588
Subtract 136 from 140 to 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 29228.0588 with a remainder of 4e-05.
