We divide 308489 by 17
We want to divide 308489 by 17.

Step 1:
17 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 17

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 30 by 17, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 138 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
The number 17 fits into 138 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 136 away from 138, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
17 can be fit into 24 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 17 from 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 17

Step 5:
17 can be fit into 78 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1814.0
If we take 68 away from 78, we end up with 10.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 109 / 17

Advancing to step 6:
109 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 7.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18146.0
Deduct 102 from 109 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18146.4
Deduct 68 from 70 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18146.41
Subtracting 17 from 20 leaves us 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.

On to step 9:
17 goes into 30 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18146.411
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.

The final outcome is 18146.411, with a leftover of 0.0013.
