Let's divide 678955 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 678955 can be divided by 17.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 17

On to step 2:
If we divide 67 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 51 from 67 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 17

Moving on to step 3:
168 divided by 17 is 9 with a remainder of 15.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
Deduct 153 from 168 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 17

On to step 4:
17 goes into 159 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 399.0
Subtracting 153 from 159 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 65 / 17

Step 5:
If we divide 65 by 17, we get 3 and a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3993.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 51 from 65.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 145 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
17 goes into 145 8 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39938.0
Deduct 136 from 145 and we're left with 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 7:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39938.5
If we subtract 85 from 90, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39938.52
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 34 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 9:
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: 39938.529
If we subtract 153 from 160, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
17 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39938.5294
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 68 from 70.
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 11:
The number 17 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39938.52941
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.

Step 12:
30 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39938.529411
Subtracting 17 from 30 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Our division results in 39938.529411 with a remaining 1.3e-06.
