Let's divide 214447 by 17
We want to figure out the number of times 214447 can be divided by 17.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 17, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 17

On to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 17 from 21 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 17

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 44 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 34 from 44 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 104 / 17

Let's proceed to step 4:
17 goes into 104 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 126.0
If we subtract 102 from 104, we get 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 17

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 24 by 17, we get 1 and a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1261.0
If we subtract 17 from 24, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 17

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 77 by 17, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12614.0
Subtract 68 from 77 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 17, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12614.5
Deduct 85 from 90 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 17, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12614.52
Subtracting 34 from 50 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
17 goes into 160 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12614.529
Subtracting 153 from 160 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 17 fits into 70 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12614.5294
Subtracting 68 from 70 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
20 divided by 17 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12614.52941
Subtract 17 from 20 to get 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 12:
The number 17 fits into 30 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12614.529411
Deduct 17 from 30 and we're left 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 result is 12614.529411 with a remainder of 1.3e-06.
