We divide 45131 by 17
Our goal is to divide 45131 by 17.

Step 1:
When dividing 4 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 45 / 17

Step 2:
When dividing 45 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 34 from 45.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 111 / 17

Advancing to step 3:
111 divided by 17 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 102 from 111.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 93 / 17

Going ahead to step 4:
17 goes into 93 5 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 265.0
Subtracting 85 from 93 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 17

Moving on to step 5:
The number 17 fits into 81 4 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2654.0
If we take 68 away from 81, we end up 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.

On to step 6:
17 goes into 130 7 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2654.7
Subtract 119 from 130 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 17, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2654.76
If we take 102 away from 110, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
17 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2654.764
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 68 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 17 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2654.7647
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 119 from 120.
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 10:
If we divide 10 by 17, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2654.7647
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 17 fits into 100 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2654.764705
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 17 fits into 150 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2654.7647058
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 140 by 17, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2654.76470588
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2654.76470588 with a balance of 4e-09.
