55601 ÷ 17 
We want to divide 55601 by 17.

On to step 1:
17 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 17

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 17 fits into 55 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 51 away from 55, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 46 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 34 from 46, we get 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 120 by 17, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 327.0
If we take 119 away from 120, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 17

On to step 5:
17 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3270.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
17 can be fit into 110 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3270.6
If we subtract 102 from 110, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 17 fits into 80 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3270.64
If we subtract 68 from 80, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 3270.647
Deduct 119 from 120 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3270.647
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
17 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3270.64705
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
150 divided by 17 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3270.647058
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 12:
17 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3270.6470588
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.

The quotient of the division is 3270.6470588, and the remainder is 4e-08.
