Let's divide 542700 by 17
We want to divide 542700 by 17.

Moving on to step 1:
17 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 17

Moving on to step 2:
17 can be fit into 54 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 51 from 54 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 32 / 17

On to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 32 1 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 17 from 32 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 157 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 can be fit into 157 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 319.0
If we subtract 153 from 157, we get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 17

Advancing to step 5:
17 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3192.0
Deduct 34 from 40 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 60 / 17

Moving on to step 6:
17 goes into 60 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 31923.0
Subtracting 51 from 60 leaves us 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:
90 divided by 17 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31923.5
If we take 85 away from 90, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
17 goes into 50 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31923.52
If we subtract 34 from 50, we get 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 9:
The number 17 fits into 160 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31923.529
Subtract 153 from 160 to 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 70 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31923.5294
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 20 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31923.52941
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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 30 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31923.529411
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 17 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 31923.529411 with a balance of 1.3e-06.
